DagonyaBé: Not for sale cultural (trash) products pop up (NOT)store – Exhibition opening
Location: Jurányi Production Community and Incubator House, Workshop Foundation, IV. floor
The exhibition is open during the whole weekend program, between 9th-11th July.
‘I’m Dagonya Bé („normal” name: Bendegúz Wágner, instagram: @dagonyabe ). I’ve been dealing with visual experimental art since 2010. My main material sources and motifs are garbage, trash, and redundant materials reusing.
This installation – is the shelf of a „nothing for sale market”. Supply of goods from an „antistore” – you can not buy the products – moreover: buying is forbidden! MUST NOT! My aim is to drive attention to our everyday objects, to show how we don’t appreciate them, to make people think about those and themselves – from artistic aspects.’

At the beginning of the 21th century, in the middle of the climate crisis, there are more and more apocalyptic scenarios coming to life about the future not too far away. However behind the melting ice caps, the burning rainforests and the oily oceans, there stands the human being with the will to live. Not at all: in the same way as before, or even more. Just like the rock-roller Sisyphus, despite the increasing catastrophes and extreme living conditions it tries to hold its common usual comfort.
How long can this adaptation serve ourselves and when will this turn out to be a blind disregard? What are we willing to sacrifice to maintain our apparent prosperity? What kind of absurd situations can be caused by everyday life when the climate catastrophe is occured and its results become a part of our life? How is everyday life on an unpredictable planet?
Our performance aims to reflect on these questions with the theatre’s recent tools and other co-art forms (dance, physical theatre, music, screening) and its elements. The project was born on the way of common creation, by the fusion of own ideas and texts, moreover improvisational physical training (Viewpoint) to place the most burning theme of our time, the climate crisis and its potential consequences that can simultaneously point to the seriousness and absurdity of the situation.
We would not like to present a dark vision, but rather a playful piece as a food for thought, through a mocking glass, in which exalting the inventive humans and criticizing their negligence are equally presented. The audience can watch a not strongly connected storyline of different scenes which present possible scenarios of our future in both a humorous and bittersweet way. – How to dress up your child for school for -20 degrees morning cold warming up to +20 degrees in daytime? Can Donal Tenborough make a film about the secret life of the plastic, after the extinction of the animals? What is the human, an inventive half-God or rather a monkey…on the edge of the abyss?

Credibility, authentic orientation – individual actions and its relevance
Presenter: Mátyás Farkas, WWF Hungary, Climate – Energy Programme
The scientific fact of climate change has been known since the 60’s, however with a quasi 60 years delay, in 2019 it started to be shown in the media and the dialogue of public affairs. Some years ago, negating statements on the fact of climate change were quite frequent and popular, nowadays politicians and at times some company executives urge action. We are in a good direction! But is it enough, and especially, is it fast enough? What are the current commitments enough for? And if companies and politicians no longer dare to deny the fact of climate change, how and why are they still shirking responsibility?
In the first part of this programme, we examine the current commitments and see if these are enough for stopping the climate change. After that, in the second section, we have a discussion on what we can do as individuals and what actions can reach the biggest volume of effect? Do you ride bikes? Is your house insulated? Do you avoid flying? Do you run a zero waste and plastic free lifestyle? Are these enough and for how long?
17.30-18.30
Collective activities – our relation to life
Presenter: Bence Kovács, National Society of Conservationists, Collective energy programme-manager
The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the unsustainability of our globalized lives. The causes of the problems are common: we have used too many natural resources, subordinated our communities to an alien economy, focused on our comfort and material consumption, and become self-reliant. As Hungarians, we use twice as much of natural resources a year as we would sustainably have at our disposal.
We can only change environmental destruction together, as members of active communities. We have to accept the sometimes inconvenient green choices for everydays and say yes to a more sustainable and happier life in which we prioritize collaboration over competition. At the same time, we need to persuade decision-makers to support system-level solutions in line with the principles of sustainability.
In one year around 30.000 people joined the Bólints rá! campaign of The National Society of Conservationists.
The main messages of the campaign, the responsibilities and tasks of individuals, communities and decision-makers will be presented by Bence Kovács, National Society of Conservationists – Collective energy programme-manager.
