EUrArt

About EUrArt

EUrArt is a working group that intends to transcend national boundaries with art. Looking at the present paradigm, it becomes clear that European art has been dominated by a white, male elite while 'other'​ artists are either not recognized as such or deemed to be 'exotic'​. However, given the multicultural background of Europe, its artists are from different origins, genders, religions, and lifestyles. Therefore, EUrArt challenges the paradigm that the universality of European art emerges from a small elite while works by Eastern Europeans, women, artists of non-Western origins, or the LGBT+ community - to name but a few - are categorized as group-specific rather than European or universal. Indeed, these artists are the ones who bridge classes, societies, and national borders.

EUrArt is part of the non-profit European Student Think Tank. The working group combines bottom-up research with practical events, all of which will be combined into policy recommendations for the European Union.
