Description

In the follow-up to the “Art in Europe 1945-1968. The continent the EU doesn’t know” exhibition, which took place from October 2016 until the end of January 2017 at the ZKM and can currently be visited in Moscow at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, Heinz Bude, Professor of Sociology at the University of Kassel, asks what idea, which concept Europe should incorporate into the future:
“Europe is neither the continent of human rights nor that of the welfare state. These would both be very lofty ideas of our region, which still makes up six percent of the world’s population over the medium term. Which origin promises what future here? Athens, Rome, Istanbul and Jerusalem are names of experiences, which have something to tell us.”
