Street art, kommunikáció és Szeged. A Magyar Kétfarkú Kutya Párt tevékenységéről
Street Art, Communication and Szeged. On the „Magyar Kétfarkú Kutya Párt” (Hungarian Two Tailed Dog Party)

Summary/Abstract: The author presents the works and the functions of „Magyar Kétfarkú Kutya Párt” (Hungarian Two Tailed Dog Party). The Party is a street art team established during the Hungarian municipal elections. The Party parodied the election campaign of political parties with stickers and posters, with texts like: „Free Beer!”, „Eternal Life!”. The author focuses on folkloric and communicational viewpoints, and states that the subculture’s ideology (from morality and values) and their social criticism materialize in these posters and graffiti. When a street art group conquers a public square aggressively, their unexpressed purposes are stirring up public attention for social effects and questions. The Party has an innovation: we can watch pictures from their works on the internet, and this is a communication innovation as well, because hitherto the viewer could just watch them, but now we have a chance to react.
