Világszép Foundation for Children in State Care celebrates its 15th anniversary this year and organises an unusual contemporary art exhibition at the Ludwig Museum. The exhibition Világszép Connections is not only a showcase of artworks, but also a moving document of the unique encounter between 24 acclaimed contemporary Hungarian artists and 77 young people aged 2 to 25 living in or having left state care.
The young people first got to know the artists through their work, and then met in person to conceive new works together. The artists then built on the inspiration of these encounters to create new works. These works form the backbone of the exhibition, providing a deeper insight into the lives of the children and the power of openness and acceptance towards each other.
The Világszép Foundation for Children in State Care has been providing emotional security, attention and support to children in care for 15 years. Their programs provide long-term stability and developmental opportunities for children, helping them to lead balanced, self-sufficient lives.
