In the rust belt of north-eastern Hungary, a new economy is thriving – one built on human blood. Private companies have found a way to profit from the desperation of the region's most marginalized population, the Gypsies. For many, the act of donating blood plasma has become a lifeline, a grim means of survival in a landscape of chronic unemployment and deprivation.

Author
I am a Romani and queer artist working with photography, installation, and participatory practices. My work explores identity, displacement, and resistance, confronting the ways marginalized communities are erased or misrepresented. Through visual storytelling, I reclaim narratives that expose inequality and open space for presence. My projects have been published in The Guardian and Balkan Insight, and exhibited internationally in institutions such as Queer Britain (London), Stiftung Kai Dikhas (Berlin), LoosenArt Gallery (Rome), and the 2025 Milan Triennale. Most recently, my work is featured alongside Delaine Le Bas and other queer artists in Stranger in Silver Walking on Air at The White House, Dagenham.
