Auróra is a cultural and community place located in the 8th district of Budapest, Hungary. A well-known site of the city's underground music and art scene, it also serves as a hub for Hungarian NGOs. Its organisational model is based on participative democracy. Auróra has been a well-known target for the Hungarian government's crackdown on civil organisations. It has been named after Károly Kisfaludy's literary journal of the same name.
