The Petőfi Literary Museum–Kassák Museum cordially invites you to the opening of the exhibition
ANNA FABRICIUS: HOME IS WHERE WORK IS

Date: 20 June, 2024 6PM
Venue: Kassak Museum, 1033 Budapest, Fő tér 1. 
Opening speech: Dr. András Müllner, media researcher

Photographer and media artist Anna Fabricius has been researching the changing cultural and personality-shaping role of work for many years. In this exhibition, she explores the increasingly common transnational family relationships that are the result of the global division of labour. Over the past year, she has worked with workers from the Far East employed in agriculture or manufacturing. The works they have created together are not documentary representations, but rather situations created for the sake of video and photography, demonstrating the personal experience of inclusion, acceptance, feeling of absence, familial love and responsibility. The organising force behind the exhibition is 'invisibility'. Migrant workers are invisible to the majority of society and also their contribution to our common well-being, as well as hidden forms of caring for each other and their loved ones.  

Winner of the 2023 Kassák Contemporary Art Prize, Anna Fabricius is a lecturer at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design. Her photo- and video works are regularly featured in national and international exhibitions.

The award ceremony for this year's Kassák Contemporary Art Prize will take place before the opening of the exhibition, from 17:00.

Accompanying events on the Night of Museums:
On 22 June 2024, from 6 pm, following the performance "I was already wondering where I am" – Polyphony of Migrated-Self by Sveta Maximova, Anna Fabricius and Judit Csatlós, curator of the exhibition, will give an interactive guided tour of the exhibition.
 
 The exhibition is on view until 27 October 2024.
