Anna Járai Artist
Anna Járai, a Budapest-based artist and filmmaker, explores embodiment and memory from a feminist critical perspective, creating research- and performance-based, cross-genre works including films, photographs and installations. She draws inspiration from folklore, family history and local history, which she frequently references in ritualistic reinterpretations.
In 2022, she graduated from the Film programme at Falmouth University in the UK, and in 2026, she graduated with an MA in Fine Art from the Hungarian University of Fine Arts. Her work has screened and exhibited internationally, including at Encounters Film Festival, Millennium Film Workshop, and Mayfair Art Weekend. Following group shows at Tér-Kép Gallery and Turbina Cultural Centre, her debut solo exhibition, Habitus, opens this September at Cairo Contemporary in Budapest. In the spring of 2026, she was a fellow of the School of Artivism residency programme in Palermo, where she explored the themes of artistic activism and translocal solidarity. In early July, at the 5th Urban Camp organised by Tranzit, she led a participatory art workshop based on the theories of Silvia Federici, in which participants created experimental animations around the social significance of gossip.
