The former capital

de Rob Hornstra

Europe is in a state of flux. The financial and migrant crisis seems to have been averted, but the political aftermath is only now becoming apparent. Where some political forces are seeking refuge in a united Europe, others are vociferously turning a way from it. The European Union is the favourite scapegoat of national politicians, even though more and more issues are regulated at European level. The media and politicians are distrusted, which has not stopped this distrust from being politically exploited. This is despite polls and statistics showing that he majority of Europeans are often both happy and prosperous. Exhibition: Kaunas Photography Gallery, Kaunas, Lithuania (02.04.-02.05.2020).
