Pure Europe

Europe is often defined in either strictly political terms or rather vague cultural notions. But where do these definitions come from? Were they ever true? And do they make sense in today’s globalised world? This exhibition offers a view of what constitutes Europe and Europeans. To fulfil its goal, the exhibition explores Europe through various perspectives. It is structured around six clichés about Europe, which – like all clichés – contain a grain of truth, but also express a bias.
