Looking at images of Europe produced by European artists and filmmakers since the 16th century, we will discuss their differences, interdependencies and permeabilities. We will also contrast these with images of the continent and its inhabitants created outside Europe. Visitors are encouraged to join the conversation and explore these images as a site for negotiating (non-)belonging to Europe, whether for geographical, political or religious reasons.𝟭𝟳:𝟬𝟬 – 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗱: 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲! with 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗮 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮 𝗛𝗲𝗰𝗵𝘁In this listening session, we will hear excerpts from a series of audio recordings produced by artist Melika Ramić together with local children at Vienna's Brunnenmarkt. These recordings, simultaneously translated into some of the most widely spoken languages in Rome, invite us to enter a polyphonic chorus that offers new forms of listening to the daily lives and views of both neighbours and children. The recordings help us reflect on key questions about Europe’s past, present and future from a transgenerational perspective anchored in the everyday life of the market.Co-curators Fariba Mosleh and Natalia Hecht will invite us to expand the questions and reflections about Europe both at an individual and collective level.ABOUT THE EUROPEAN PAVILION<a href="https://culturalfoundation.eu/stories/european-pavillion/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The European Pavilion</a> is a programme by the European Cultural Foundation that provides spaces for experimentation and reflection on Europe.
