With a panel discussion, exhibition, workshop, and guided visits to the Hungarian House in Brussels, which bears the stylistic hallmarks of Art Nouveau, the Liszt Institute in Brussels has also joined the Art Nouveau Brussels program for 2023.
On the occasion of the World Art Nouveau Day on June 10, an exhibition entitled Hungarian Art Nouveau without Borders, featuring photographs by Dorka Demeter, an influencer who has more than 30,000 followers on Instagram, was opened on Friday as part of the Hungarian programs linked to the thematic year of Art Nouveau in Brussels.
Demeter said that
the main aim of the exhibition is to show the international public the Hungarian Art Nouveau in the Carpathian Basin,
which is unified in style, but the buildings and artworks are currently located in different countries. In her words, the language of photographs can explain this peculiar Hungarian situation in a clear way.

She said that the exhibit presents the work of Hungarian architects and artists from Bratislava to Subotica (Szabadka, Serbia) and from Budapest to Târgu Mures (Marosvásárhely, Romania).
It is no coincidence that we can see the work of the same architects in different regions of the Carpathian Basin, because at that time this region was not only a cultural but also an administrative whole, the Kingdom of Hungary,
she said.
Demeter expressed the hope that the exhibition organized on the occasion of World Art Nouveau Day would contribute to making Hungarian Art Nouveau better known and to giving it its rightful place among the European Art Nouveau movements, since, as she said, their boundaries and recognition in literature often end in Vienna.
In conjunction with the photo exhibition, a panel discussion on the turn-of-the-century art movement was held at the Liszt Institute on Friday evening.

In the framework of Art Nouveau Brussels 2023, the Hungarian House in Brussels, organized by the Embassy of Hungary in Brussels and the Liszt Institute, opened its doors to the public on Saturday and Sunday. The eclectic town palace, with its Art Nouveau features and Italian Renaissance touches, was built between 1872 and 1897. On Saturday, as part of the Hungarian Art Nouveau Weekend, a family workshop with an Art Nouveau bag painting workshop was held.
