This exhibition is an expression of transnational solidarity with the courageous women* in Iran. Moreover, it extends solidarity to all women* in other countries and regions around the world who stand up for their rights and freedoms. More than 40 artists and activists, mostly living in Austria, highlight what is worth fighting for. With each work in the exhibition, the list of "FOR" expands. In this way, it connects to Iranian protest songs, which also inspired the exhibition title: For... dancing in the street.

In this current era of a digital economy and the ensuing meta-crisis, our social values have been significantly impacted. Within this context, BINALÉ, a sovereign and decentralized initiative, operates in the culturally polarized and politically charged environment of Eastern Europe. The exhibition marks the 150th anniversary of Budapest and serves as a call for reflection on our collective values in the age of persuasive technologies. The curated selection of digital art is diverse, ranging from video, computer, generative, and robotic to post-internet and augmented reality art. Artists from five continents have contributed their works to the exhibition, reimagining democratic norms in light of posthumanist ideas and non-Western codes that view intelligence, consciousness, and interdependence as more inclusive and dynamic principles.

Experimental photography explores unusual materials and processes, creating unique surfaces, visual effects, and new meanings. By questioning traditional roles, it has become the most diverse area in the field. This exhibition showcases the evolution of experimental photography, from early 20th-century avant-garde works, like those of László Moholy-Nagy, to modern image manipulation and alternative visual experiments, highlighting its ongoing relevance and creative potential today.

The annual national salon, devoted to a different branch of art each year, is the celebration of an entire profession at the Műcsarnok. When organising the 2nd National Salon of Photography, it was our express aim, in the spirit of solidarity, to reach out to and call upon every artist who made significant works in any area of photographic art in the last five years to participate in the exhibition. Most of them, 208 photographers, were glad to accept our invitation. We requested each artist to submit one work or series and we stressed in our letter of invitation that we expected works which the given artist personally felt as being the most important one from among his or her photographs of the last five years.
 

What do classical art genres mean to contemporary photographers nowadays? How present are known precedents in the creative processes? To what extent can the centuries-old artistic and one-and-a-half-century-old photographic traditions and oeuvres be detected in artistic attitudes and reflections? These considerations were the starting points of an exhibition series aimed at examining the contemporary presence of classical genres in photography. Perhaps the most exciting endeavor is to uncover and display the parallels, connections, and deep currents in Hungarian photography: how contemporary creators, by reflecting on classical genres, continue historical traditions, or, by turning against them, seek entirely new answers. In both contemporary gestures—whether continuation or transcendence—the vibrant or hidden deep currents can be detected.

Among the selected works, there is room for the visual analysis and depiction of the 21st-century existence of natural and human landscapes, and the increasingly problematic relationship between landscape and humans. Additionally, the exhibition includes works that evoke both external (physical) and internal (spiritual) landscapes, transforming what does not realistically exist into a deeply personal visual reality.
