PROJECT EXCHANGEMOME Incubation × Art Quarter Budapest
An informal gathering for sharing ideas, works in progress and perspectives across creative disciplines.
Tuesday, 17 November 2026 | 16:00–20:00
AQB | FOYER (building B, 3rd floor)
What happens when emerging creative projects meet an established community of artists, makers and independent thinkers?
This November, MOME Incubation and art quarter budapest invite the aqb community to an afternoon of shared ideas, conversations and collective thinking.
As part of this year's MOME Art and Design Incubation programme, we are bringing together a group of emerging artists and designers whose projects are currently taking shape. Through a collaboration with aqb, the participants have the opportunity to work with the centre's curator and artists, while connecting with the diverse creative community based in the former Haggenmacher brewery.
For this occasion, we are opening up the mentoring process and inviting aqb's in-house artists, international residents and creative practitioners to join us for a collective consultation session.
The format is simple: our participants will briefly introduce their projects and current questions, followed by informal conversations, questions, reflections and feedback. No formal presentations or prepared talks – just an opportunity to exchange perspectives, share knowledge, discover unexpected connections and perhaps find the beginning of future collaborations.
MEET THE PROJECTS
Nóra Pasker — MONOFORM
A bag collection built around a single piece of leather, where cuts and structural solutions create the form itself. The project explores the relationship between thoughtful construction, functionality and a distinctive visual identity, with the ambition of developing a sustainable, production-ready independent brand.
Dorottya Máté — NEW TUFT
An exploration of hair as a surface for personal visual expression. Combining traditional Kalotaszeg motifs with contemporary graphic design and hairstyling, NEW TUFT develops a new visual language through experimental patterns, material research and potential product and service formats.
Petra Börcsök — beantoday
An educational food design project encouraging the consumption of legumes through a specially developed soaking and sprouting object, accompanied by educational content. The project connects sustainable eating habits, everyday objects and the rediscovery of locally grown legumes.
Bence Sáránszki — AETHER
A lighting and scenographic concept exploring how light can shape atmosphere, perception and the experience of space. The project aims to develop a portable, easy-to-assemble installation system that can be presented and tested in different spatial and performance contexts.
Sára Hecker — THIS IS ALL I HAD WISHED FOR
A photographic and video installation exploring the meaning of home through the stories of people who have started a new life in social housing after experiencing homelessness. Using participatory methods, the project addresses the personal and social dimensions of housing and the possibilities of creating a broader conversation around the housing crisis.
Zoi Donta — PROMETHEAN
A photographic and speculative project examining how developments in biotechnology are transforming our ideas of the human body and life itself. Through fictional organisms, 3D experiments, spatial installations and photography, the project explores the increasingly blurred boundaries between the natural and the artificial.
Polina Kuprina — EXHIBITION THAT NEVER HAPPENED
An artistic research project exploring fragmented memory in relation to migration and social change. Through photography, installation and speculative storytelling, Polina is developing a fictional narrative universe that could eventually take the form of an independent exhibition.
JOIN THE CONVERSATION
We would love to bring together different practices, experiences and ways of thinking – from visual arts and design to research, photography, material experimentation and beyond.
Whether you have a question, a different perspective, a shared interest or simply curiosity about what others are working on, your presence and input are welcome.
And because good conversations need a little fuel, we'll have some food and refreshments to keep us going throughout the afternoon.
Come by, meet the participants, exchange ideas and see what unexpected connections might emerge.
The event and all project discussions will be held in English.
