The Csikós - The last Wranglers of the Hungarian great plain

© Stichting Jimmy Nelson Foundation, 2018 The last Wranglers of the Hungarian great plain Our first 2018 team, of talented photographers, filmers and visual story tellers is going to Hungary for the Hortobágyi Lovasnapok festival, this July, to create the first of many ‘Circle of Connection’ projects. Every year, a three-day event takes place in the Hortobagy National Park, a part of the Great Plains in Eastern Hungary (the largest protected National Park of the nation and a UNESCO cultural world heritage site since 1999). Ever since 1671, horsemen and shepherds have been coming together for this event. Today, the festival is still celebrated and symbolises the ancient lifestyle of the horsemen that is still present in this area (though in small numbers). As the horsemen show off their traditions and impressive horse-riding skills, the festival is a colourful celebration of the Hungarian cultural heritage and – perhaps – an homage to “the last wranglers of Europe” Videography by Jeroen Cox In collaboration with Nikon
