Most of them decided to create an alumni chapter in their home country or make international professional alumni groups and some of them did great social media work.

The presenter of the Alumni Hungary Webinar in September was our former alumni volunteer, Zahra Fuladvand, who is a well-recognized performance artist from Iran. She did her DLA research at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts with the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship and created more of her artworks in Hungary. We asked her about her art, inspirations, and her connection to the Hungarian contemporary art scene.
