Szeged Papucs Conference 2026.10.16. - Unique Heritage, Emerging Future
This year is special for us: for ten years we have been working to ensure that the Szeged papucs is not merely a preserved object of memory, but a living, usable and transmissible cultural heritage today. In this process, the folk dance community also plays a decisive role - in dance, the papucs is not only a costume, but a tradition that continues to live in movement, music and community.
At the jubilee conference to be held on 2026.10.16, we therefore wish to address representatives of the folk dance profession. We are curious about their experiences, their thoughts, and also how they see the place of the Szeged papucs in today's folk dance and heritage preservation environment.
You will find detailed information about the conference in the attached invitation. Participation requires registration; please indicate your intention to participate here.
On the day before the conference, on 15 October 2026, an exhibition will open at the Szeged Kiss Kunszt Gallery, presenting the history and diversity of the Szeged papucs and the most important achievements of the past ten years.
Best regards,
