SHUKAR.T

Providing space and giving particular attention to artistic sources that are relatively
underrepresented while have the power, the quality and the potential to bring new
inspiration to the global art world is in the essence of ART MARKET BUDAPEST. The
fair chose contemporary Roma art as its highlighted theme: in October 2023, upon
the initiative and as an accompanying event of ART MARKET BUDAPEST, a unique and
comprehensive program titled SHUKAR.T is organized to place contemporary Roma
art in the focus of attention. In addition to an unprecedentedly rich selection of works in
its central exhibition space and various other accompanying locations in Budapest, the
SHUKAR.T International Roma Art Festival adds numerous professional, cultural and
social events to make Roma artists and the amazing treasures they create accessible
and enjoyable to a broad local and visiting audience. ART MARKET BUDAPEST and
the SHUKAR.T festival aim to make a strong contribution to the presentation and
promotion of contemporary Roma visual arts, the inclusion of Romani artists in the
broader cultural context, fostering their connection to professional institutions and the
wide audience.
