Dr. Terdik Szilveszer reveals the Görögkatolikusok Annual Heritage Exhibition opening March 20th in Miskolc.

This episode of Prisma features an interview with Dr. Terdik Szilveszer, curator of the Görögkatolikusok Annual Heritage Exhibition in Miskolc. The exhibition marks the centenary of the Miskolc Apostolic Exarchate, founded in 1924, and aims to reflect on the past century and future of Greek Catholic communities. It was organized in collaboration with the Hermann Otto Museum and co-curator Katalin Vámosi. The exhibition starts by defining Greek Catholics and uses interactive films to show their customs, traditions, and liturgies. A timeline details Hungarian Greek Catholicism from the 1646 Union of Ungvár. Key artifacts include a rare 18th-century portrait of György Veszprémi Püspök, discovered in Budapest and restored. The oldest items are 18th-century liturgical books from the Abaúj-Szolnok region, handwritten in Slavic with ornamental decorations. The exhibition includes icons arranged by sacraments like baptism and Eucharist, imitating an iconostasis. Notable pieces are the Hayasdi icon from the 1640s and the Vajdácskai cross from the 1750s, a folk piece restored as a diploma work. Modern icons by painters like László Kárpáthy are also featured. The exhibition emphasizes items still in church use, gathered from living communities. It incorporates digital and interactive elements, though the curator expresses skepticism about their effectiveness. The discussion touches on the artistic value of folk icons, appreciated for their minimalist, naive charm in modern aesthetics. The future of Greek Catholic art is considered, with mentions of younger professionals like Anita Lackó. The episode concludes by noting the exhibition's broader relevance beyond the Miskolc region.
