WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 6:00 p.m.
Location: CEU Nador u. 11. Bldg, Hanak Room (201)
Discussion seminar for students from the Baltic States and other
interested in the region. The seminar is organized by CEU`s Baltic
Students.
"Looking for the Baltics: Problems of Post-Soviet Baltic Identity"
In post-communist Europe, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have been
viewed as countries forming a unitary region called the Baltics. This
viewpoint has a solid historical basis, including a common fight against
the Soviet occupation in recent history. However, after liberation this
unity has not been as self-evident to the Baltic people themselves and
increasingly also to people from other countries. Politicians and
gradually more of the people of these countries have been expressing
hesitation towards the idea that these countries share a common
historical, economic and cultural development. The aim of the discussion
seminar is to bring together students from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania
for a discussion on the questions of Baltic regional identity in
different spheres of cooperation (economy, politics, culture and
security). The first hour will be devoted to presentations by students,
and the second hour will be for discussion. The seminar will be followed
by an informal social event.

ONGOING
THROUGH FEBRUARY 28, 2002
Location: CEU Nador u. 11. Bldg, Galeria Centralis
An exhibition presented by the Open Society Archives at CEU:
"The Millenary Exhibition"
The new exhibition at Galeria Centralis focuses on the millennial
events, programs and works of art that received public funding in
Hungary. This is the only exhibition so far that has tried to give an
overall picture of the kinds of official programs and
centrally-sponsored works that were created on the occasion of the
Millennium, the anniversary not only of the foundation of the Hungarian
State but also of the adoption of Christianity.
Material was collected with the help of the state institutions that
organized, subsidized and documented these events, including the
Millennium Commissary Office, the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, the
Religious Editorial staff of the Hungarian Television, Duna Television,
the Hungarian Radio, the Hungarian Post Office, the Coin Trade Joint
Stock Company of the Hungarian National Bank, the Office for the
Protection of Historic Monuments (previously the Committee for the
Protection of Historic Monuments) and the Millennial Non-profit Company.
The selection of material on display in the exhibition largely reflects
the value judgements of the above-mentioned institutions: the exhibition
shows the events and programs that they consider most important.
The collection of official documents and declarations serves to
reconstruct the authorities' intentions with regard to the Millennium,
the material displayed in the exhibition will help to establish the
extent to which those intentions were actually fulfilled.
Galeria Centralis opening hours:
Tuesday-Friday: 2:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Saturday-Sunday: 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
