Esch2022: PURE EUROPE

Europe is often defined in either strictly political terms or through rather vague cultural notions. But where do these definitions come from? Were they ever true? And do they make sense in today's globalized world? Exploring Europe through various perspectives, this exhibition catalogue offers a view of what constitutes Europe and Europeans. It is structured around six clichés about Europe, which-like all clichés-contain a grain of truth, but also express a bias.
