Fashion, Art and the Aesthetics of Recycling in Eastern Europe↴
The Robert Capa Contemporary Photography Center is pleased to present ‘Fashion, Art and the Aesthetics of Recycling in Eastern Europe’ discussion in collaboration with FUTURES Photography , as part of ‘The Ecology of Movement’ exhibition and public programme, presented during Paris Photo 2026.
📆Sunday, 15 November | 11:00–12:30
📍 Atelier 13 Sévigné, Le Marais, Paris
The conversation builds on the Capa Center’s ongoing focus on Eastern European visual culture, reflected in exhibitions such as 'Eastern European Beauty ● Contemporary Fashion Photography & the Eastern European Aesthetic' and 'European Kinship ● Eastern European Perspective', and continues its exploration of regional identities, artistic practices and shared cultural histories.
⚡️Fashion, Art and the Aesthetics of Recycling in Eastern Europe⚡️
In Eastern Europe, resourcefulness, reuse and DIY practices are deeply rooted in a shared history of scarcity and have been passed down through generations as everyday habits and cultural attitudes. These traditions continue to shape fashion and visual culture, reflecting the region’s transition from socialism to capitalism, the encounter between former ways of life and an emerging consumer culture, and the layering of inherited patterns with newly adopted forms of behaviour. Today, these experiences also resonate with contemporary ecological thinking and sustainable approaches to fashion.
Bringing together two Eastern European artists currently based in Paris and two internationally active curators from the region, this conversation explores how artists navigate the worlds of fashion photography and autonomous artistic practice, how these fields inform and influence each other, and how Eastern European aesthetics of beauty, resourcefulness and reinvention shape their work.
🎙️Participants:
artist ● András Ladocsi (HU)
artist ● Kincső Bede (RO/HU)
curator of the Capa Center ● Emese Mucsi (HU)
📌Moderator: independent curator ● Marina Paulenka
