The Art of Democracy Exhibition from February 1 to September 18, 2024 in Strasbourg

The exhibition explores the relationship between art and democracy through a selection of artworks from the European Parliament Contemporary Art Collection. The artworks from different European countries offer a personal interpretation of different aspects of democracy. They highlight the relevance of democracy for diversity, inclusiveness, and freedom of expression.

Let this exhibition inspire you to reflect on the important link between art and democracy, to stimulate dialogue, and to foster a deeper understanding of the role that art plays in shaping democratic values and our democratic society.

The Art in Democracy exhibition, featuring artworks from the European Parliament’s Contemporary Art Collection, explores various components of democracy and attempts to unravel why these values are so important to our society. It also reminds us that European citizens have a role to play in defending democracy by voting in the upcoming elections.

The full exhibition is also available in 24 languages on the dedicated website, which includes a pedagogical kit for educators in 24 languages, allowing teachers to bring the topic to life in the classroom and inviting students to reflect on democracy and what it means to them through various artistic activities.
