Easttopics Curatorial Platform for Central and Eastern European Art

Easttopics is a dynamic curatorial platform and exhibition space headquartered in Budapest, Hungary, dedicated to the promotion and research of contemporary art from Central and Eastern Europe. Established in 2015, the organization functions as a think tank and interdisciplinary cooperative, aiming to bridge the gap between the regional art communities of Eastern Europe and the global art scene. Through its comprehensive online database, Easttopics documents the work of artists, art professionals, institutions, and publications, providing a vital resource for cultural mapping across the CEE region. The platform's activities extend beyond the digital realm, encompassing the Easttopics Gallery, a physical exhibition space that hosts curated shows highlighting diverse artistic practices. Additionally, the organization runs a region-specific library and hosts the East Call curatorial residency program, which offers professional opportunities for international curators to engage with the Hungarian and broader regional art contexts. By facilitating connections, exchanges, and collaborations, Easttopics supports the visibility and critical understanding of Eastern European art within contemporary discourse. Managed by a dedicated team of curators and art historians, the platform remains a central hub for anyone seeking to explore the evolving artistic landscape of countries such as Hungary, Romania, Poland, and Ukraine. Its commitment to publishing and archiving ensures that the creative narratives of the region are preserved and made accessible to a worldwide audience.
