The international camp was organized with the support of the “Carpathian Basin” Institute in Szeged and involved 22 photographers from Vojvodina, Upper Hungary, Partium, Transylvania, and Hungary, coordinated by the Szeged Carpathian Basin Institute (KMI) in cooperation with the city hall of Óbecse between July 1st and 3rd, 2022, under the leadership of the Óbecse photographer László Jusztin. Gyöngyi Bánházi, János Csíki, Andrea Fórián, Orsolya Kovács and István Tóth AFIAP, ESFIAP from FMFT Partium participated in the international camp.
The exhibited 50 creations represent the visual impressions of the photographers from Partium. The opening of the event was held on July 18, 2022, Monday at 6:00 PM, in the presence of a large audience (despite the particularly high heat), welcomed by István Tóth AFIAP, ESFIAP, a photographic artist. The photographer from Nagyvárad highly appreciated the initiative to organize the international photographic art camp, which offered an opportunity to create numerous special images.
Exhibitor Orsolya Kovács, who displayed photos at the exhibition taken in the center of Óbecse, in local churches and on the banks of the Tisza, emphasized in her speech the importance of this event as she met many colleagues whom she had previously only encountered on the ZOOM platform in online courses. The event was broadcast live on the Association’s Facebook page.
