United States of Europe
A travelling exhibition about European identity and today’s Europe.
Do you feel European? Does Mr O’Keeffe in Ireland feel more or less European than Mrs Stylianou in Cyprus? And if so, why? What is the idea behind Europe and do Europeans feel included? Do Europeans trust their leaders? Maybe there are as many different answers on these questions as there are citizens in Europe.
The artistic project United States of Europe (U.S.E) deals with these questions in the context of a travelling exhibition through ten European countries. The exhibition opened in Lodz, Poland in November 2011, the second destination was in Helsinki, the third in Vilnius and the fourth in Guimarães. Now the exhibition opens in Nicosia, as a part of the cultural programme of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
United States of Europe (U.S.E), a large-scale collaboration project about European identity, will further be presented in public spaces, galleries and museums in Germany, Bulgaria, France, Ireland and Belgium, until spring 2013.
