Creative actions in Hungary to show solidarity with Ukraine
Change language:
There have been plenty of demonstrations and political statements about the Russian-Ukrainian war in recent weeks, but Hungarian artists have not waited too long to take action either. We have summarised a few creative actions.
Animated video for peace
The Hungarian Animation for Community Purposes group has made a video in which it stands up against the war and in favour of Ukraine, writes 24.hu.
“Our video is intended to show our solidarity through our feelings, and the links in the description are intended to provide sources of help in the country. We support the actions of all those who oppose this war,” commented the creators of the video.
In a petition, Hungarian artists ask for the renaming the Bajza Street metro station to “Ukraine”
The Russian Embassy in Hungary is located at the Bajza Street stop of the millennium metro, so a group of Hungarian artists decided to express their solidarity with the Ukrainian people oppressed by the Russian invasion. The artists thus decided to switch the name of the Bajza Street stop to Ukraine, writes Blikk.
Although the action does not mean an official renaming, the news of the action even reached the mayor of Budapest, Gergely Karácsony, who reacted to the events.
The mayor does not want to remove the boards
Mayor Gergely Karácsony announced on Facebook his decision that until the end of the war, the employees of the Metropolitan Municipality will not remove the nameplates of Ukraine placed at the stop. He said he knew about and supported the initiative even before the action took place.
God bless the Tuning group restaurants for their goodness!
Does anyone know the name or names of Christian churches in Budapest who are helping and feeding Ukranian refugees. I read that at one church, the Christians are exhausted and getting only 1-2 hours sleep every night. They need more volunteers and donations to help buy food! The church name was not provided. Hopefully, the church names can be given!
