In Budapest, artists live quietly...
This street-art-manifesto on the wall of an old building of the 7th district, the old Jewish ghetto, is trying (quietly) to catch one's attention. Imagine yourself in the middle of the Budapest-nightlife, where the price of the vodka is playing the leadrole and the youth gets lost in the narrow streets full of bars hiding in some inner-courts. There is little place for big thoughts, not only because of the ebrious state that takes its territory every week-end, but also because the actual nationalist/right/extreme-right political environment kills slowly but surely all kind of free thinking.
Hungary has always been on the wrong side, for every significant moment in History. But today, the last hope in solidarity, optimism and a positive development of the society is killed by some crazy and selfish right-wing politicans. So artists keep on living, but quietly... Halkan élünk.
