Gruppo Tökmag

The artistic ansamble Gruppo Tökmag came to existence in 2008. The the two founders are András Tábori and Budha Tamás Kovács. In the focus of the group’s activity, public and urban spaces are regarded as open exhibition places containing many different media that can be used for artistic self-expression. Their works are best interpreted within the network of urban life, public spaces and omnipresent, governing signs, reflecting on the very issue of big city existence and uncovering “hidden” phenomena.

Kateryna Khramtsova filmed a short documentary about a non-binary performer and soldier entitled Qirim (2023), which has been screened at many film festivals, both here and abroad. In the accompanying essay, Kryštof Kočtář presents the film in the context of Khramtsova's artistic work.
We know and repeatedly analyze a host of issues with commercial social media and digital labour, but little attention is paid to efforts at building alternatives, such as community-run social media and other forms of de-platformization.
Against the totality of networks and corporately owned social media, what are workable strategies and ethical approaches that allow for alternative ways for our social life to emerge?
How do we speak the law? The enactment of the legal is a social construct brought about before the law and after its fictions. As socialised ghosts, our collective minds register each other’s codes, through methodical patterns of self-elevating humans.
