Zsófia Puszt
In 2016 I graduated from Photography BA at the University of Kaposvár. After graduation I became a member of the Studio of Young Photographers and tried myself in different areas of photography. However my interest has been more directed towards art and critical media education over the years. Therefore I have been studying at the Universität der Künste Berlin Art in Context since 2018 where my specialisation is art mediation. My main interest lies in critical media education for various social groups, especially children and teenagers.
The study of human relationships and communities is a crucial part of my art. I am therefore particularly interested in participatory art work and experimental approaches. My main goal is to make contemporary art accessible and understandable to all, so that they can define themselves in life and also in the digital space.
