Budapest - An Artist's Perspective

Budapest is a city full of contradictions,where innovation is born from an elegant yet faded beauty. Time stands still here in the suspicious faces of a generation still marked by Communist rule. Bullet holes ridicule the facades of storybook architecture, and yet the majestic Danube still dominates this city and with its flow comes the current of change. Budapest is far from static, and anyone with a curious and pioneering spirit need only ask, “which way to the rabbit hole?” In the heart of the city is a sub culture nurturing the bravest artists and inspiring critical change. It’s a safe house for new thinkers to ask questions and challenge mediocrity. It’s International, it’s political, it’s experimental, it’s eccentric, and it’s dramatic and fun. What this city offers that is unique particularly to artists, is freedom and support side by side. A place to play without being judged, an ever-changing environment inspired by what has existed for years. With this in mind I believe Budapest is quietly becoming a cultural epicentre. A pit stop for ‘Creatives’ and their fans. Everyone loves an underdog and this town is definitely one to watch.
