The exhibition explores how young Hungarian peace activists sought to organize an autonomous movement independent of both the state apparatus and the democratic opposition. Drawing on documents produced by the Dialogue group, state security reports, and Western information sources—and leaving room for the imagination—it reconstructs the group’s actions while revisiting questions of peace, political agency, and dialogue that remain relevant today.
Opening remarks by:
Gergő Bendegúz Cseh, Director General, Historical Archives of the Hungarian State Security
Csaba Szilágyi, Interim Manager, Chief Archivist, Blinken OSA Archivum
Opening speech by
Éva Forgács, Melinda Kassai, Pál Kochis, Zoltán Rozgonyi, Dialogue members
The exhibition was organized in collaboration between the Historical Archives of the State Security Services and the Blinken OSA Archivum.
Academic partner: Department of Political Science, Central European University (CEU)
