THE HORSESHOE ABOVE THE DOOR, OR, HOW ARE WE EMBEDDED IN IDEOLOGY
Edit András
Edit András mainly follows engaged, socially sensitive and critical works of Hungarian art. She is interested in the changing social position of art and the ways in which it adapts to or resists the current situation. She looks at how post-socialist culture deals with its own past, the gendered aspects of Hungarian art, the relationship between culture and power, and how easily cultural and historical issues can be exploited politically.
Nikita Kadan
The lecture by the internationally known Ukrainian artist Nikita Kadan at the Academy of Fine Arts was introduced and accompanied by a debate with the Russianist and semiotician Tomáš Glanc. Kadan lives and works in Kiev. He works with various media, including installation, sculpture, painting and collage.

On January 7, 2005, Oury Jalloh, an asylum seeker from Sierra Leone, died in a German police cell as a result of a fire. The police version of the case states that it was probably an accident caused by the detainee himself, or suicide, in connection with the ignition of a mattress made of non-flammable material to which Oury Jalloh was handcuffed and shackled.
