“From time to time, Brad Pitt, Uma Thurman, Madonna and other stars appear on the streets of Budapest. Characteristically, they carry strange expressions and some kind of cheeky or provocative message. The street art of Miss KK uses celebrity figures seemingly torn from the pages of fashion magazines, bringing a little pizzazz to everyday life in the capital.“

There is an interview on welovebudapest.hu with MissKK about her art. It is pretty impressive! (Personally I do like her work a lot, and to be honest, I had no clue about her name, until now…) I have some more photos of her work taken in the last few years in Budapest.

World Collage Day is an annual, international celebration of collage on the Second Saturday of May. Initiated by Kolaj Magazine in 2018, we invited artists and art venues to hold events on that day to celebrate collage. World Collage Day is about artists connecting across borders against a global context of entrenchment and separation. And the day is about an art medium that excels at bringing different things together to create new forms and new ways of thinking. Ric Kasini Kadour, the editor of Kolaj Magazine, writes, “We created World Collage Day because we wanted to honour this community of artists and to remind the world what a spirit of cooperation, mutual support, and creativity can look like.” The next World Collage Day is May 8th, 2021.

Az ecserin szerzett horgolt ágytakaróm az egyik legkedvesebb tárgyam. Akárhány ezer kilométerre cibáltam magammal vagy hurcoltam egyik budai lakásból a másikba, rendíthetetlenül hozta magával az üzenetet: előbb-utóbb lesz rendes otthonod!Most épp nagyon trendi ez a „granny square” minta – hogy hívják magyarul?- de már a hetvenes évek óta feltűnően jelen van párnán, pokrócon, kötényen, vadabbaknak bikinin vagy Paul Mccartney-n. Néhány napja jó nagy adagban a budapesti 49-es villamos egyik kocsiján is. Az interneten hömpölyögnek az akcióról a képek és a kötögető-horgoló lányok szelíd szavai. Ha az index ebben és ebben a cikkben nem írta volta meg a magyar gerillakötés áttekintését, tovább szaporítanám erről a szót, de a két írásból minden kiderül, amit a magyar mozgalomról tudni kell. Olvassátok!
