Catalog of an exhibition held at Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien, 2013.
Summary:
Can we talk about Europe without being Eurocentric? How can we meet on equal footing in an unequal world? These are questions that emerge from a research project and an experiment of artists and researchers working together towards an art exhibition in Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien in Berlin in 2013. With an eye on creativity, political ideologies, travel, and migration and with a range of research locations ranging from West Africa, the Middle East, and Western Europe to Southeast Africa and the Balkans, the research group set out to understand how people remember the past, strive for a better future, or think about alternatives in an entangled world. In the course of the exhibition project, seven research-art collaborations evolved and developed these themes into artistic positions. In this book, the researchers, artists, and guest authors document and reflect about the process that resulted in this exhibition through essays, artwork produced for the exhibition (partly sketches) and documentary imagery.
