We wanted to bring together people around the neighbourhood for one more time to enjoy a nice breakfast with live music, join our sustainability workshops with Verkstaden and Durca, and come with us for a historic walk around the area.
What's up Budapest? - discussions
„Do the recent global issues worry you a bit and give the impression of an uncertain future? Would it be easier to ignore them, but you still somehow interested in the local and international news? Do you think that you have a say?” These were some of the questions raised when Mindspace has launched „What’s up?” weekly talks. For the series of ten discussions we invited speakers with exciting perspectives on the local and global public, economic and social situations.
We were interested in the future of cities, the trend of individual and community involvement and in what the main challenges are that in general the population, and in smaller scale the inhabitants of Budapest has to face with.
The discussions were part of the Shared Cities: Creative Momentum project’s program package of the beginning of 2017. Mindspace’s Urban Cultural Pop-up Space at Mikszáth Square, Budapest gave a home to the weekly discussions.

We kicked off the new season by reimagining BRFK Gallery. The new place, called Rákócity became an urban lab with exhibitions and project focusing on the neighbourhood. The first event was Rákóczi Rekreáció, a "recreational center". We filled up the place with donated plants, heaters, nice smells and some hot tea.
