Ahead of Hungary’s Universal Periodic Review (UPR) at the UN Human Rights Council in November 2026, Freemuse, AICA International, and AICA Hungary have submitted a joint report calling attention to ongoing threats to artistic freedom.

The report warns that artists and cultural workers continue to face indirect forms of control, including politically influenced cultural institutions, centralised and non-transparent funding systems, restrictions targeting LGBTI+ expression, and legislation that risks limiting civic and cultural space.

Hungary’s new leadership has spoken of transparency and dialogue. To make those commitments meaningful, the government must protect dissenting voices, guarantee independent cultural funding, remove undue restrictions on foreign-funded cultural actors, and safeguard artistic expression for all.

AICA International warmly congratulates Raúl Calderón Gordillo on his appointment as the new President of AICA Mexico.

Based on his experience and background in the arts and culture, Raúl Calderón Gordillo has focused on how contemporary art is produced, disseminated, and promoted. Rather than aspiring to be a central figure, his work reflects a commitment to observing reality from the periphery, with care, and participating in it through the artistic field.

Since 2012, he has been Curatorial Coordinator at the Clavijero Cultural Center and has collaborated on research projects with the Center for Research and Documentation of the Arts of the Michoacán Ministry of Culture, Mexico. He has also taught across several arts programmes and universities, and has participated in international museum and cultural projects, including The Reimagined Museum: A Meeting of Museum Professionals from the Americas.

Among his awards are the Lorenzo Il Magnifico Gold Medal at the International Biennial of Contemporary Art in Florence, a National Prize in Mexico’s National Young Art Competition, and an Honorable Mention at the Awagami International Miniature Print Exhibition in Japan.

We wish Raúl and AICA Mexico every success in this new chapter.

AICA HUNGARY APPOINTS NEW PRESIDENT

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Tamás Don as the new President of AICA Hungary.

Tamás Don thesis and research focuses on the opportunities for the integration of young, early-career artists within Hungary’s contemporary art institutional system. His areas of interest also include projects addressing social and historical issues, the history and current condition of the post-regime-change contemporary visual arts institutional system, and art pedagogy.

Since February 2018, he has been a curator at MODEM in Debrecen, and since 2021, its chief curator. In addition, he has worked on several independent curatorial projects, including as an organiser of the Küszöb Festival.

In 2019, he joined the Hungarian section of the International Association of Art Critics (AICA), and since February 2023, he has been a member of its board.

In 2020, he received the Ludwig Museum’s ARTtransfer Award and, in 2023, a special prize in the ICOM Museum Education Award, under the auspices of MODEM, for the jointly coordinated online “30+” experimental museum education programme with József Mélyi and Ágnes Szabics.

Since 2015, he has been the curator of the project series “Vanishing Point,” which examines issues of Jewish identity and antisemitism across different periods of the twentieth century.

He has taught in the Design and Art Management programme at METU and currently serves as a lecturer in the Department of Fine Art Theory at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, where he is also a first-year PhD student.

We look forward to working closely with him and wish him every success in this new role. Congratulations and welcome, Tamás Don!
