Join us for the exhibition opening party with a vibrant DJ performance, the chance to meet the talented photographers behind the exhibition, enjoy delicious drinks with friends, get creative in a photo collage workshop, contribute to a dynamic photo mosaic, and much more.

The exhibition showcases 21 documentary photography projects from across Europe, exploring the many ways Europeans connect with the past in their daily lives.

From commemorating historical events to participating in re-enactments, from taking tourist selfies to degrading monuments, from digging up forgotten pasts to keeping private collections, come and discover the diverse and sometimes surprising ways people interact with history The exhibition also features works by photography students from La Cambre Art School, who challenge and expand the exhibition’s narrative through their own perspectives.
