Dear Visitors,

Joanna Rajkowska’s exhibition „Airways” in Trafo Gallery closes this 
weekend, Sunday 30 November!

“…Joanna Rajkowska invited fifteen people on a nearly one-hour 
flightseeing tour. The guests included a representative of the Hungarian 
Guard and one of the Goy Motorbikers, two organisations of the Hungarian 
far-right, known for their specifically strong public appearances. These 
two groups are expressing their visions and formulating their image of 
the enemy and group identity in a way that was unheard of in Hungary 
until recently (yet familiar from another time and place). The other 
thirteen participants are foreigners living in Hungary, former refugees, 
Gypsy and Jewish Hungarians, members of sexual minorities and a homeless 
person; in a word, all those who often appear in nationalist rhetoric as 
potential sources of conflict, and whose appearance in the public space 
regularly excites severe counterreaction on that side…”
