THEMA: GHOSTS OF EUROPE

EU 01 | For A Fist Full Of Euros

— DEU–

Europa steht für Gleichheit, Freiheit und Demokratie. Aber es brodelt unter der Oberfläche. Menschen demonstrieren für ihre Grundrechte und gegen Korruption, öffentliche Bildung, Wohnraum und faire Arbeitsbedingungen. „A Fist Full Of Euros“ nutzt die Kategorien Race, Class & Gender um einen Blick in die Ritzen zwischen den großen europäischen Ideen und Idealen zu werfen. Hinter der Fassade des schillernden Eurosiegels enthüllt sich die hässliche Fratze des global grassierenden Kapitalismus.

–ENG–

Europe stands for equality, freedom and democracy. But, under the surface, something is seething. People are taking to the streets, to demonstrate for their civil rights, for public education, housing and fair working conditions, and against corruption. “A Fist Full of Euros” employs the categories of race, class and gender to take a look into the cracks between the grand European ideas and ideals. Behind the facade of the shiny Euro seal lurks the hideous face of capitalism, running rampant around the globe.
