Ideology, Identity and Socialist Art in New Europe” project, supported by the European program Creative Europe 2014−2020.

“Heres We Love” is aimed at fostering interdisciplinary research on the phenomenon of socialist art in its cultural, social-ideological, and political context, spanning the period from the inception of the communist/socialist states of Eastern Europe till today. It boldly explores the geopolitical term New Europe and encompasses the region from Poland to Albania in a joint international project.

*Postcard from a City* is a series of artistic interventions which will take place in the public space of Gdansk. The invited artist must produce a new work reflecting on the [idea of the project](http://engine.nectarads.com/r?e=eyJhdiI6MTA3ODczLCJhdCI6MjAsImJ0IjowLCJjbSI6MzM1MDcxLCJjaCI6MTkzMCwiY2siOnt9LCJjciI6MTI0NjUxNiwiZG0iOjQsImZjIjoxMzMzNzk0LCJmbCI6OTM5ODkzLCJpcCI6IjU0LjgyLjIzOC4yMzciLCJudyI6MjA3LCJwYyI6MCwiZWMiOjAsInByIjoxNjY2LCJydCI6MSwic3QiOjAsImJmIjp0cnVlLCJwbiI6ImF6a3ByZXZpZXciLCJ1ciI6Imh0dHBzOi8vaGVyb2Vzd2Vsb3ZlLmZpbGVzLndvcmRwcmVzcy5jb20vMjAxNS8xMS9pZGVhX3Bvc3RjYXJkc19mcm9tX2FfY2l0eS5wZGYiLCJyZSI6MX0&s=kqJSJF2kaA%5FT98FzY%5FtoXNGFDFY&ref=hyperallergic.com), which will then be presented in June 2016 together with the works of other invited artists.
