Europe is experiencing a historic moment of turmoil that challenges the very concept of identity, further heightened by the effects of the crisis and the reappearance of fears from the past. This crisis of shared feeling has prompted the re-emergence of tensions between national identities and the rejection of anyone needing greater attention, especially minorities and the weakest collectives.The project aims to reflect on the construction of European identity by acknowledging the common denominator, and exploring margins and heterodoxies. This will serve to advance towards the recognition and extension of citizen rights, acceptance of diversity, respect for freedom and analysis of the concept of European citizenship in general.There are great European intellectuals and artists whose bodies of work are a valuable contribution that relates to the concerns of new generations. They have been leading lights of civic-mindedness, humanism and creative dialogue, key figures in the construction of European identity. Of all of them, Pasolini, with his ethical and aesthetic message, acquires a central importance.Four major European cultural institutions (CCCB Barcelona, Cinémathèque française, Palazzo delle Esposizioni Rome and Martin-Gropius-Bau Berlin) have decided to pool their knowledge and, together, take up this challenge by developing the following activities:- A R&D C session to analyse the construction of European identity, using innovative methodologies in the field of culture;- The creation of a website to host interaction and information on the theme;- Four exhibitions, one each in Barcelona, Paris, Berlin and Rome, about the figure of Pasolini;- A programme of lectures and debates with the presence of foremost international figures;- An educational programme; - The creation of a network to ensure the project’s continuity, and- A communication plan raising awareness on this issue.
