DRIFT – a post-national digital pavilion is an online space that hosts a series of re-imaginings of Europeanness. Here, we think about diaspora, migration, belongings and the idea of m/other/lands as places that both welcome and other you. We reflect on the entanglement between land and water, movement and m/otherlands, in the forging of new identities and subjectivities.
DRIFT is part of the European Pavilion: a pan-European, multidisciplinary arts initiative by the European Cultural Foundation that aims to support and promote artistic and educational projects exploring ideas for a future Europe.
Discover the other projects re-imagining and interrogating European identities on the European Pavillion website: https://theeuropeanpavilion.eu
