Some installation shots and impressions of the exhibition opening of Another Europe on 12 July.
To celebrate the European Year of Cultural Heritage and to mark the Austrian Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2018, the Austrian Cultural Forum London in collaboration with the European Commission in the UK and EUNIC London presents Another Europe, an outdoor exhibition of photographs, around the King's Cross area of London, exploring the diversity of European Herit...age.
Another Europe features 28 photographs, one from each EU Member-State, mounted on specially designed concrete benches dispersed around London’s King’s Cross area. The photographers represent a wide range of photographic practices and are a mixture of established and emerging talents. Together they voice themes and influences we all recognise as part of our cultural heritage from concrete manifestations such as monuments, buildings and sites to the more ephemeral social aspects such as childhood, fairytales; theatre, landscape, conflict, work, celebration, family, memories, literature and traditions.
