The documents of SZETA - Hungarian dissidents' Fund for Aiding the Poor

The Fund for Aiding the Poor (SZETA) was a unique endeavor of the Hungarian democratic opposition involving counter-cultural initiatives in the fields of art and literature and a heightened social awareness for those in need. The original documents of SZETA have survived to our day only in part, and are scattered across private collections. Therefore an almost complete documentary collection of SZETA could be composed only virtually as of yet, with items from the relevant holdings of the Blinken-OSA Open Society Archives, Budapest, the secret police files of the Historical Archives of the State Security Services (ÁBTL), Budapest, and Gabriella Lengyel's online collection, together with some private papers of Gábor Havas, Bálint Nagy, Ferenc Kőszeg, Gyula Kozák, Zsuzsa Hermann, and others.

The photo collection of Lóránt Méhes

The photo collection of the painter Lóránt Méhes (“Zuzu”) portrays the personalities and events of the Budapest alternative art scene from the beginning of the seventies. The images arranged into scrap books in chronological order can be called social albums on the analogy of family albums, and present a composed, personal, visual imprint of the style of living of the nonconformist community.

Theatre 'in der Wende' Collection

The Theater in ‘der Wende’ collection preserved by the Academy of Arts in Berlin documents changes in theatres in the former GDR as well as in cultural politics, covering the period from the autumn of 1989 until mid 1990s. The collection includes twelve theatres from the GDR, but it focuses mostly on (East and West) Berlin and Brandenburg, and three newly emerged theatres, in the context of the fall of the Berlin Wall and German reunification. The timeframe includes the transformation period initiated in some theatres prior to 1989 until their dissolution or those that completed their transformation at the beginning of 1990s. The materials were selected to showcase the uniqueness of the changes that affected theatres, an institution which was directly monitored by the surveillance mechanisms of the regime.

Theatre Gardzienice Collection

The Theatre Association „Gardzienice” – the Centre for Theatre Practices was founded as a theatre and a performance group by Włodzimierz Staniewski in a small village Gardzienice near Lublin (Poland) in 1977. Since then, it has become one of the best known examples of experimental theatre, linking musicality, music, performance and close relationship between the artists and the audience.
The Theatre, apart from producing new performances, is also very active in the field of artistic education – in 1997 it started the Academy of Theatre Practices, where students from different humanistic fields can develop their animation and performance skills.
