GEOFOLK – Tradition and Identity in Images
The photo exhibition invites visitors on a special visual journey into the world of tradition-preserving communities in the Carpathian Basin and Europe. The exhibited works showcase the unique values of folk costumes, customs, and cultural heritage, while drawing attention to the fact that traditions represent a living and identity-forming force even in the modern world.
The exhibition's images not only document the richness of folk culture but also bring visitors closer to the people and communities who preserve and pass down this invaluable heritage through personal stories, portraits, and atmospheres.
We welcome all those interested in exploring the encounter between tradition and contemporary photography within the framework of an inspiring cultural event.
The exhibition can be viewed between November 5–19, 2026 during library hours (Tuesday, Wednesday 8–15:30 and Thursday 8–17:30). Visits are also possible on Mondays and Fridays by prior arrangement.
Anyone can add events to the Folk Calendar. We try to check the data daily, but we cannot take responsibility for its accuracy.
