| Kivonat: | Through employing a mixed-methods approach (site observations, interviews, surveys, and A/B testing), the research examines: how artistic typologies influence engagement, preceptory divides for traumatic versus celebratory artworks, and dissecting the interpretive gap between locals and international visitors, taking case studies of public art in Budapest—specifically,The Shoes on the Danube,Firewall Murals,Kolodko’s Mini Statues, andThe Fat Policeman— to dive into public artworks' mediation between local memory and tourist consumption.Although public art promotes emotional, multi-faceted sentiments that can bridge cultural divides, its social and historical significance often gets oversimplified due to commodification or spectacle tourism. The research emphasizes the general imbalance between remembrance and accessibility aiming to propose the advocacy for participatory appeal alongside cultural preservation.By framing public art as both a mirror of identity and a dialogic catalyst, this research offers actionable insights for urban planners, artists, and policymakers seeking to harness art’s transformative potential in public spaces. |
