Artists bursting into a new world
The moment we are living has no parallel in our recent history. In Europe, citizens of all generations never before faced such a collective challenge, resisting to an invisible enemy and deeply questioning the future of our societies and different dimensions of our previously assured realities. All our social and personal conventions are being put to proof and we look to feed our hopes from what we see and read in the digital sphere. Artists everywhere are bursting with initiatives to support people to build a new – inner and outer- world beyond the fear.
A challenge that calls for individual responsibility
People’s behavior and awareness hits the curve line of the community’s salvation, although the concept of citizenship is dressed under a call for stillness. The sharing of physical spaces is now under strict limitations and public spaces are to be avoided. Our homes and windows took on a new dimension and we look at our neighbors with different attention.
The dangerous irony faced by Europe
Neighbors next door but also neighboring countries. Europe, and particularly the European Union, faces a dangerous irony on the dilution of its borders. With efforts focused on combating the coronavirus, the dimension and function of what is the largest community of prosperity, peace and development in the world, is also being challenged.
Will we be able to reset and turn towards each other, holding uncertainty together in a creative and life-affirming way?

This project aims to join different European cities and bring an artistic perspective, that can be seen and red, to this particular moment in our history that is being lived “at home”.

Europe is at Home
We live in a historic moment with unparalleled challenges for all generations.
A few weeks ago the world stopped, Europe was no exception and a substantial part of the population closed itself at home. Europe - the world's greatest project of peace, prosperity and solidarity that brings together countries and cultures - tried to answer to this pandemic Covid-19 crisis by adopting unprecedented public protection policies, settling social distance with the recommendation/obligation to keep the largest number of people at home. This decision created an unprecedented situation: our houses took on new dimensions and the public space can only allure a few people.

Involving cities in this project
Faro, capital of Algarve the southern region in Portugal, invited an initial group of cities, that place culture as one of their main development axis, to decode this particular moment in history through the photos of artists and through the texts of literary authors.
Across Europe there are countless examples of how culture is helping to think the present, and one of our first inspirations came from the city of Kaunas (Lithuania) and their photoproject “ Quarantine Windows”.
Although many of the cities involved are related to the title of European Capital of Culture, as well as the city of Faro, “Europe at Home” project aims to be an open movement that seeks to embrace any city in Europe and its artists. Know more about these different European cities and their artistic perspective, that can be seen and read, on this particular moment in our history that is being lived “at home”
