Veronika Molnar is an independent curator and writer based in Budapest and Brooklyn. She received her MA in Art History from Hunter College, the City University of New York, in 2021 with the support of a Fulbright grant. Her research interests lie at the intersection of artistic activism and environmental justice, and her writing and curatorial practice aim to amplify the voices of underrepresented artists from Central and Eastern Europe. She has held curatorial positions at The Museum of Modern Art, carriage trade gallery, Edward Ressle Gallery, Faur Zsófi Gallery, FERi Gallery, and Budapest Photo Festival. Her essays, reviews, and interviews have appeared in the Brooklyn Rail, Hyperallergic, and MoMA Magazine.
In this essay, Veronika Molnar writes about Hungarian Roma artist Omara, whose diverse practice encompassing painting, intervention, and media appearances challenged the status quo of Hungary’s homogenous contemporary art scene from the early 2000s until the artist’s death in 2020.
Curator Veronika Molnár discusses questions of industrial agriculture, techno-optimism, and the fossil energy infrastructure with the artist Rita Süveges, also touching upon the pervasive role of the current right-wing political regime in Hungary’s contemporary art scene.
