The exhibition The Desire for Freedom will present mainly video works made over the last five decades by 47 authors from 17 European countries. The presented works combine into a social and political landscape of contemporary Europe and the problems that the continent is grappling with. The exhibitions pose questions such as: How do individuals want to live? In what way do they want to come to terms with history? How do they behave when faced with authoritarian regimes? The show demonstrates the ways in which artists expose social taboos. It also takes on board government politics and governments’ duty to provide security for their societies.

The project, co-financed by the European Commission, has been organised under the auspices of the European Council to mark its 30th anniversary.
