Memento Park Budapest

A Memento Park megihleti és inspirálja látogatóinkat, sőt, van aki határozott elképzeléssel érkezik!

Fehérvári Fepé Pétya Péter elhozta saját készítésű Lenin és Osztapenkó, valamint ajándékba kapott Zsebtévé bábjait.

Ebben a posztban a bábok mutatkoznak be, de a műsorszámok is jönnek hamarosan!

Ambassadors of Memento Park

Who are they? Ordinary people with extraordinary skills and a will to create and share, so the world will be a better place, thanks to them. They are scholars, artists, professors, tourism professionals, travelers, thinkers, and doers engaged with or inspired by Memento Park's conceptual design. We show our gratitude in a series of social media content about them. Thank you all for what you do!

Dr. Anna Váradi and Dr. Lucy Jeffery

Anna Váradi is a multilingual education and strategy expert with 10 years’ experience in student-facing work, project and event management, research design and dissemination, strategic planning, intercultural stakeholder relations, EDI, and database management (including automation). Anna has published in peer-reviewed journals as author and translator (working in German and Hungarian) and has presented at international conferences on television cultures, nostalgia, and feminist media in the UK, USA, and Denmark.

Lucy Jeffery’s research focuses on twentieth-century literature and culture. After an initial trip to Budapest in April 2019, Lucy’s interest in twentieth-century Hungarian literature and culture led to publications on one of Hungary’s best-loved writers, Magda Szabó. Lucy is currently writing an article on the poet Miklós Radnóti entitled ‘A Forced March from Serbia to Hungary: Reading Miklós Radnóti’s Bori notesz as the Diary of a Refugee’. Since receiving the Visegrad Scholarship in 2024, which saw her work at the Blinken Open Society Archives, Budapest, she has written an article about the parallels between censorship under communism and today in Hungary.

They published a volume, "Replaying Communism: Trauma and Nostalgia in European Cultural Production" (AUP, 2026).

Gary Hussey is an Irish sociologist and research-led photographer based in Budapest. To date, his work has focused on the spatial aspects of power, conflict, and ideology. As such, his interdisciplinary academic work spans critical geography, social and political theory, and cultural studies. He has published on violence in the north of Ireland, as well as on contemporary politics, such as the politics of populism. His visually-led work also interrogates questions of how histories of power, conflict, and ideology shape our experience of everyday space.

Gary did his PhD at the National University of Ireland, Galway. In 2023- 2024, he did a Post-Doctoral Fellowship at the School of Sociology, University College Dublin, Ireland. He was recently (2024-2025) a Fellow at the Leuphana Institute for Advanced Studies, Leuphana University, Lüneburg, Germany, where he studied the materialities of populism in contemporary Hungary.
