The first photographic exhibition organised by the House of European History reveals how Europeans engage with the past in their everyday lives. What are we searching for when we connect with history? Are we seeking an identity that goes beyond our own lives? Are we longing for social connection or political community? From processing grief and reconciling with past tragedies to entertainment and escape from the banality of everyday life, the past is part of our present.
