„Cifra Műhely” coming to existence

The „Cifra Műhely” Cultural Non-profit Association was formed in 2009, owing to a civil proposal. The association is formed by those young people who are fond of folk music and folk dance. Our activities are very diversified however we are determined to protect, and foster the multifarious folk culture of the Carpathian Basin, moreover to explore and save those connecting values.  The activities referring to our main objective is to organize vocational (in the matter of folk-art, environmental, protecting historical buildings) conferences, exhibitions, forums, folk camps and folk dance houses.

We propagate general knowledge of the Hungarian national and ethnical minority as well as those Hungarians living out of Hungary in the Carpathian Basin. We prepare and organize international art workshops, camps to strengthen the cultural connection between nations.

The basics of our formation are that whole „Cifra” room set of furniture and hand-woven fabrics which are originated from a small village called Méra of the region Kalotaszeg within Transylvania. The set of furniture was the heritage of a family but the set did not fit in the brand new house they built. The great idea to take the „Cifra” set from place to place was born after cleaning and renovating the furniture. The „Cifra” set has been to several places in Hungary and abroad as well since then.

According to our experiences so far, we are able to carry our message to more and more institution, therefore to more and more people, to give them a slice of this „joy-culture-tradition-art” cake. This is thereupon very important to us, because we would like to achieve at the present man and at the future generation that we should not pass by the real values in our fast, consumption orientated, globalisation world. And at last we would not want this kind of furniture to turn into firewood.
