There is an exhibition of traditional weavings by Fodorné László Mária of Hungary’s Sárköz region at Vigadó Galéria, Budapest. The exhibition will be open from 2019 February 9 through Easter. Fodorné László Mária has lived her entire life in the village of Decs in Hungary’s
Sárköz region (Tolna County). She recently celebrated her 70th birthday. She began learning weaving as a ten year old from her neighbor and
she hasn’t stopped weaving since. She has taught several hundred girls, women and even her husband to weave. Fifty years ago they wove in every house in the Sárköz Region, now Fodorné László Mária is pretty much the last one still weaving. Printed here is ethnographer Bali János’s speech given at the exhibition opening.
