The design public matter

The KÖZÉRT fair highlights the stories behind handmade crafts while supporting marginalized communities through various civil organizations. It showcases the importance of art in bridging different worlds and fostering community connections. The fair, originally part of the Bartók Quarter program, has evolved into a standalone initiative that emphasizes social responsibility and collaboration between design and civil sectors. Visitors can purchase unique handmade items while supporting causes related to education, social integration, and mental health. KÖZÉRT offers a personal alternative to traditional holiday shopping, demonstrating how cultural spaces can naturally integrate social engagement into their operations.
