What is Europe to you?
Exhibition of photographs by Lisa Borgiani and events to mark the 20th anniversary of Poland's accession to the EU.
WHAT IS EUROPE TO YOU?
A EUROPEAN JOURNEY THROUGH IMAGES AND FEELINGS
27 CITIES | 1200 PORTRAITS | 3000 VOICES
The project "What is Europe for you?" is a photographic narrative created by Italian artist Lisa Borgiani, who is visiting European cities from 2019, asking the people she photographs the question: What is Europe to you?
"What is Europe to you?" is a story in images that takes Lisa Borgiani to different European cities: in 2019 to Athens and Berlin, in 2020 to Milan and Rome, in 2021 to Paris and the island of Ventotene, in 2022 to Budapest, the Baltics, Guben-Gubin, Malta, in 2023 to Strasbourg, Bonn and Dresden, in 2024 to Madrid and Lisbon. This year, four Ukrainian photographers from the Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers collected portraits and voices of people living in Kiev, Odessa, Lviv and Kharkov.
"What is Europe to you?" is an artistic journey into oneself, in search of feelings, a dialogue between the images and words of the people encountered, regardless of nationality, gender, profession, religious beliefs or social and cultural background.
"What is Europe to you?" is therefore an attempt to tell Europeans' feelings about Europe, a story about their identity, and it is also an appeal to promote a debate on understanding and awareness, because Europe means democracy above all, and democracy means participation. Europe is a place where everyone has the right to feel free to express their opinions and confront them with those of others.
On Thursday 16 May at 5 pm, together with the Italian Institute in Krakow and the City of Krakow, we would like to invite you to the opening of an exhibition of photographs by Lisa Borgiani, which will take place in Jordan Park in Krakow (facing 3 May Street) with the artist in attendance.
The exhibition will be on display until 25 August 2024.
On Friday, 17 May, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., we invite you to Villa Decius, where you will be able to meet Lisa Borghiani and take part in her photographic project in the artist's atelier.
The photographs and statements collected at Friday's event will be published by the artist and presented in upcoming exhibitions.
