About

PLACCC International Festival of Site-specific Art and Art in Public Space is organized yearly since 2008, presenting international and local art forms at unusual venues and in public spaces. Primarily held in downtown Budapest, with special editions in Pécs during the European Capital of Culture programme and in Csepel district, the festival has expanded to community-based and participative practices. It supports public art projects by local and emerging artists year-round through collaborations with universities, urban development organizations, and environmental groups. The festival aims to introduce site-specific art in Hungary, promote contemporary art understanding to new audiences, encourage Hungarian artists to work outside traditional art spaces, illuminate public locations through artistic projects, create dialogue platforms about urban environments, develop critical approaches to public space use, examine power mechanisms in urban contexts, and foster awareness of
