Zsófia Móró

During her stay in The Hague, Móró will continue her research into the social and political transformations of 1990s Hungary — tracing a personal story of disappearance within her family, while exploring the media landscape and collective memory of the era.

The artist will look for the link between Hungarian emigrants in The Netherlands and the following events of the regime change in the 1990s. Móró will expand her investigation from her family archive to a broader analysis of the era. Drawing on media and press materials preserved within her family’s archival heritage, she will examine newspapers, television broadcasts, and print media from the time.

This investigation will also explore participatory strategies to present the parallel realities of the nineties. By situating her personal story within the broader socio-political landscape, the research will provide insight into the defining characteristics of the period, as factors that gave rise to multiple interpretations and versions on the disappearance.
