<nettime> Illiberal Realities: Understanding Propaganda and the Orbanisation of Europe

[Tatiana Bazzichelli via nettime-l <nettime-l@lists.nettime.org>]

Dear Nettime List,

building up to our first conference of 2025, Shadows of Illiberalism: 
Resisting the Radical Right, I would like to invite you to join 
Disruption Network Lab tomorrow, on Thursday 3 April for a community 
meetup, focused around the topic of "Illiberal Realities: Understanding 
Propaganda and the Orbánisation of Europe".
https://www.disruptionlab.org/event/illiberal-realities
We will also record the talk and it will be available on our website 
after the event for the larger audience that is not Berlin-based.
We will hear from our guests, Péter Adamik and Sára Szedlár from the 
Freie Ungarische Botschaft https://freieungarischebotschaft.de/en/ (Free 
Hungarian Embassy), a spontaneously organised group of 
Hungarian-European citizens living in Berlin, with a mission for the 
creation of a solidarity society in Hungary from abroad.
Viktor Orbán’s autocracy learning-lab is often being referred to as a 
role model for other leaders and parties of the far right-populist 
scene, like the AfD. Adamik and Szedlár will give an overview of how the 
Orbán government has built up its power machinery, reconstructing, 
translating, and contextualizing propaganda billboards from Hungarian 
streets. Is there a way out of such a system? What are the chances that 
the 2026 parliamentary elections would change something in Hungary – and 
for its European alliances?
Thursday, 3. April, 2025
19:00-21:00
nGbK, Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 11, 10178 Berlin

The meetup is free to attend, but please register at the link below so
