PÉTER BENCZE focuses on long-term collaborations and exploring the intersections of art forms. Through his platform Everybody Needs Art (ENA) and Longtermhandstand gallery, he creates innovative exhibition formats that go beyond traditional spaces. His work dissolves boundaries between artistic disciplines, creating unexpected connections between art, space, and audience. Over the past decade, Bencze has curated over a hundred exhibitions globally, from Greece to Japan. His approach emphasizes accessibility by engaging unconventional venues and public spaces, eliminating the "threshold fear" often tied to contemporary art. Through his initiatives, Bencze challenges traditional art market structures and encourages dynamic collaboration.

RÉKA LŐRINCZ is a Hungarian multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans contemporary jewellery, sculpture, moving image, text-based art, and energetic healing. Her work explores human existence through themes of productivity, agency, embodiment, and knowledge systems, approached through a personal lens that draws on collective consciousness. Rejecting one-dimensional categorization, she sees her mediums as interconnected, feeding into each other. In addition to her art, Réka is dedicated to personal well-being through transformative healing techniques. With an academic background in Mental Hygiene and Organizational Development from Semmelweis University, her healing approach focuses on emotional clarity, physical renewal, and spiritual growth, supporting those seeking transformation.
