Budapest, 10:25
Women read letters sent to Nők Lapja, Hungary’s longest-running women’s magazine, established during the country’s communist era. Stepping into the imagined roles of the letter writers, they revisit personal stories about motherhood, relationships, and work, interpreting them through the lens of their own lives. Through this intergenerational dialogue, we learn how women’s lives have changed and what this reveals about contemporary urban society.
