Exhibition


This exhibition presents the long-lived Hungarian tradition of the Ring Camps, fantasy camps for children that focuses on embodied role-playing experience.


The objects, images, music and stories related to them reveal the similarities and distinction of the different camps, thus the diversity of the kingdoms within the Alliance of the Known Realms.

The Known Realms & the Bánk Tradition

Bálint and Ármin used to co-run a fantasy summer camp for children in rural Hungary, that was an inheritor of the long-lived Hungarian edu-larp methodology, the “Bánk Tradition”.

Bálint is currently starting to research this tradition and the way its methodology can be applied to community-based artistic practices and research.
