Ráhel Anna Molnár (b.1992) is a cultural journalist, theorist and artist based in Budapest, Hungary. She has been working with, through and for the self-organised cultural and activist communities of Eastern Europe and the Balkans. She’s building different platforms for the research, expression and connection of marginalised or peripheral regions, ideas and actors of the global cultural scene, theorizing the various potentialities and the dynamics of these communities through the poetic, philosophical and also economic dimensions of friendship, hospitality, struggle and love. She is publishing texts extensively in local and international contemporary art magazines and participated in numerous residencies as a theorist and artist, such as the Brno House of Arts artist residency (2021), the Reaktor residency program at Nova Cvernovka, Bratislava (2019) and the East Art Mags residency for cultural journalists in Prague (2019).
