Curatorial Guided Tour, feat. Betekintő
On Peace Square – The Peace Group for Dialogue
Opened on June 18, 2026, in the Archivum’s Galeria Centralis, this exhibition presents the history of the Independent Dialogue Peace Group, a unique grassroots initiative in 1980s Hungary. Organized in cooperation with the Historical Archives of the Hungarian State Security, the exhibition explores how young Hungarian peace activists attempted to create an independent movement, separate both from the state apparatus and from the democratic opposition.
The accompanying series Evenings on Peace Square features a roundtable discussion launching the Issue 3 of the journal Betekintő. Before the discussion, an exhibition tour will be held at 4:30 p.m., led by Zoltán Viszket and Péter István Pap, with a particular focus on the points of connection between the questions raised by this issue of Betekintő and the exhibition. The panel discussion is expected to last approximately one hour.
The event will be held in Hungarian.
The exhibition On Peace Square – The Peace Group for Dialogue is open free of charge through October 25, 2026 at the Blinken OSA Archivum’s Centrális Gallery.
The series is organized in cooperation with the Blinken OSA Archivum, the Historical Archives of the State Security, and CEU’s Department of Political Science.
