On December 16, the Hungarian Cultural Weeks in Mexico event series ended with an exhibition in Tepoztlán featuring the pictures of Adalberto Ríos Szalay, a Mexican photographer of Hungarian origin. During the events, we offered programs covering almost all branches of culture and arts in the Central American country for almost four months.
As the last event of the Hungarian Cultural Weeks in Mexico, the photo exhibition Mexico and Hungary: links and similarities in the field of culture was opened on December 16 in the Nativity of Jesus Monastery in Tepoztlán, which is a museum. At the exhibition, the directors gave an account of the special relationship between the two countries through the pictures of Hungarian-born Mexican photographer Adalberto Ríos Szalay.
The purpose of the Hungarian Cultural Weeks, which began on August 26, was to give a comprehensive picture of us, so the local public could get to know our traditions and values through artistic, gastronomic, educational and sports events. Hungarian literature, music, sculpture, film and photography, gastronomy and wine culture were also presented. In addition to the capital, programs were also held in the larger cultural centers of Mexico (Guadalajara, Guanajuato, Morelia). In the spirit of strengthening relations between the two countries, a street in Mexico City was named after Budapest.
Hungary was represented at the most famous Mexican festivals, the Guadalajara International Book Fair, the Morelia International Film Festival and the Cervantino International Festival of all arts. In the framework of the series of programs, those interested could also personally meet, for example, the writer, poet, translator Krisztina Tóth, the writer Attila Bartis, photographer, and the film director Barnabás Tóth.
