CONFERENCE: European Kinship – Eastern European Perspective

CONFERENCE: European Kinship – Eastern European Perspective↴ How can Eastern Europeanism be defined? What is it that is distinctively its own, that binds the peoples who live here and share a common history and geography? And what are the global solutions to local specificities? Or what and how does all this become one in Euro-ness? What are the trends towards deeper European integration and more international cooperation? And how do they affect artistic-photographic practices dealing with the world around us, its phenomena, its effects, and the related feelings and problems? In the one-day international conference at the Polish Institute Budapest, international experts will be asked about what characterizes Eastern European visual culture and what meanings it may have on the international photographic and/or cultural scene.
