Viola Fátyol: If you have a heart, what you did to me, hurts you too

With the professional cooperation of the Capa Center Viola Fátyol's exhibition If you have a heart, what you did to me, hurts you too opened on September 30 as part of FotoIstanbul Festival. Viola Fátyol won the Capa Grand Prize Hungary with this series in 2016.

Vámospércs is situated in Hajdú-Bihar County, twelve kilometres from the eastern border of Hungary. Its population is about five thousand people. Most of its residents traditionally work in agriculture or do farming at home besides their other jobs. The town is struggling with the problems of peripheral existence from the geographical, economic, and cultural aspects.

The folk choir has been operating for forty years; its members are mostly elderly women, who can, for the first time, afford to do intellectual-cultural activities regularly in their years of retirement. They attend the community for different reasons: to cope with loneliness, to overcome personal tragedies, or simply for the joy of singing.

We have been singing together since 2013.
