The World Press Photo exhibition opened on Thursday evening in Budapest’s Biodome, showcasing the images of 31 photographers from 24 countries.
Joumana El Zein Khoury, the executive director of the World Press Photo Foundation, noted at the event that Budapest has hosted the exhibition for 48 years.
Gergely Karácsony, the mayor of Budapest, said the photographs depicted an undeniable reality that encouraged people to “get to grips with future challenges” while introducing future generations to such challenges so they “can be in control of them”.
Tamás Révész, the exhibition’s chief curator, said the accompanying exhibition presented pictures and videos taken by Eszter Cseke and Andras S Takacs, the creators of the 15-year-old Hungarian documentary series On the Spot, which tells of their travels in various parts of the world.
