ARTISTIC VISIONS OF A PEACEFUL EUROPE What image stands for Europe? The fall of the Berlin Wall and thereby the unification of East and West? Universal human rights and the achievements of democracy, or the images of the Second World War? Not since Antiquity has a single metaphor stood for Europe: It is a multifaceted mosaic that, despite massive tensions in the face of its postnational development, is no longer at risk of breaking apart. Over 70 artists and authors bear witness to what it signifies to reflect on Europe and its historical development over the past 150 years.
