Interview with Hartyándi Jenő on his series of ‘peasant salon’ evenings in Ravazd - a village in northwestern Hungary. This writing tells about the series of weekly events organized by film photographer and cultural organizer Hartyándi Jenő (a founder of the Media Wave international film and music festival). Each salon evening focuses on one musician or artistic personality often with an emphasis on their roots and life path. These lecture or portrait interview events are documented live by Hartyándi, then posted online in a kind of podcast format. The series began in February 2022 and has since included more than 200 evenings with some 50 interviews per year. The first year his series received support funding from the Pajtakult Program and other sources. The documented interviews are now being added to the archives of the Hungarian Heritage House. A small community has grown around the events. Interview, photos and text by Henics Tamás.
