Presence of the Past – a European Album

Editors: Simina Badica, Stéphanie Gonçalves

Summary

The idea behind this exhibition is both straightforward and nuanced: a photographic exhibition about Europeans’ engagement with their past and a questioning of the myriad ways in which we invite the past into the present. The idea came from our community, with proposals to host photographic exhibitions. The suggested photographic projects were highly interesting, visually recording the presence of the past in everyday life or landscapes, in different corners of Europe.
