Women of AFAD: Ilona Németh

After studying typography in Budapest, at the beginning of the 2000s, Ilona Németh came to the AFAD, where she first worked as a teacher in the department of painting. In 2007, together with Anča Daučíková and Anton Čierny, they founded the Department of Intermedia and Multimedia, the focus of which met the current need to expand study programs at the AFAD including new media.

In the conversation with Zuzana Golianová, she mentions, among other things, the beginnings of her teaching activities at the AFAD, also in view of her position as a woman of Hungarian nationality, or the management of Studio IN, in which she primarily tried to develop civic responsibility, artistic quality and openness among students. Connecting with foreign countries was also important, which she applied as part of the Open Studio program, when international experts regularly came to the studio for workshops.

Women of AFAD: Women about work, practice and things that matter is a series of podcasts that we prepared on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the AFAD in cooperation with Zuzana Golianová. Every Tuesday throughout October and November, you can look forward to a new interview with one of our school's former and current pedagogues, who reflect on the history and development of the AFAD through the eyes of women.
