United States of Europe - A travelling exhibition about European identity and diversity
Start date: May 1, 2011,
United States of Europe (USE) is a travelling exhibition about diversity and identity, about unity in diversity. USE consists of three main project dimensions that will be presented in the public space and in museums: 1. Interpretations of multimedia, cyberculture, video and installation artists’ on European Identity that will be exhibited in the public space and in traditional exhibition venues.2. Sociological study based on 5 different methods, conducted among different groups of young european people, whose results will also be exhibited in mentioned spaces above. 3. An interactive laboratory where the artistic and sociological parts come together. The laboratory is intended as a hybrid environment where people exchange and interact over time. The laboratory is also a part of the exhibition.With the USE project we create a platform for a transnational circulation of artworks as well as intercultural interaction and communication. The USE exhibition will tour to ten european cities. During this tour, USE will offer artist workshops and round table debates around the theme of European identity. On the occasion of the main opening of the exhibition, calls for photography and storytelling will be launched for professional photographers and authors as well as for the wide audience. USE is led by a consortium of ten partners with different fields of competence in culture. This team of partners is specially created for the initiation of USE. The partnership reflects diversity in terms of geography, seniority in the EU, political and historical background. The project is created out of a need to present a cultural project that adds new, artistic perspectives to the debate about European identity and about the Europe we live in. USE wants to make many Europeans' voices heard. Listening to the people, will make them will listen back. This creates awareness, understanding and in the end commitment.
