The exhibition of textile artist Detre Mikolt presents the rich motif world of Hungarian woven textile culture and the points where it connects with contemporary textile art.
Alongside the artist's handmade works created on a loom and inspired by folk art, including stoles, tablecloths, kilim rugs and wall hangings, the exhibition also features factory fabrics with his own designed patterns, technical experiment series and textile jewelry.
In Detre Mikolt's work, the traditional motif heritage of Hungarian woven textiles is reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. While preserving inherited forms and patterns, he also explores how they can be applied in new settings, on today's objects and in contemporary home culture. His creations thus connect the values of traditional textile making with the visual world of the present day.
The exhibition opening takes place on Friday, November 6, 2026, at 18:00, at the Csillaghegyi Közösségi Ház. The exhibition will be opened by Piroska Pintér, weaving instructor at the Hungarian Heritage House.
Following the opening, from 18:30, the Csíkritmusok program will take place, after which, with the help of Detre Mikolt's slide-illustrated presentation, visitors can get a closer look at the weaving technique and its creative possibilities.
The exhibition can be visited until January 13, 2027, at the Csillaghegyi Közösségi Ház (1039 Budapest, Mátyás király út 11–15.).
Admission to the exhibition is free on weekdays during the house's opening hours, and on weekends it follows the institution's program schedule.
