The exhibition reflects on how the story of European heritage is told. This story is deeply intertwined with the representations we encounter in art history, in museums, and in architecture and archaeology. In other words, it shapes the historical foundations and the monumental experiences through which we perceive collectivity. The exhibition explores this through a personal connection to two places: Greece and Denmark—Athens and Copenhagen. Across two generations—in this case, father and daughter—the exhibition considers how lived experience, and its telling, speaking, and translation, can find a place in relation to, or in spite of, these perceived collectivities.
