The EESC is to host a photography exhibition, "Images of Another Europe 1985-1989", featuring the work of Constantin Pittas, a well-known photographer from Greece.
In the late 1980s, Costantinos Pittas roamed all over the divided continent, from south to north, and from Lisbon to Krakow, in both Eastern and Western Europe. His camera was focused on the faces of fearful, repressed people in the East, the faces of the lonely or the elderly in the West.
The exhibition "The EU speaks your language" moves to the Council of the EU (LEX building).
"The EU speaks your language" was produced by the EESC in house, in cooperation with the Directorate for Translation of the EESC/CoR and was launched in September 2018 to mark the 60th anniversary of Regulation 1/1958 entering into force.
The exhibition travels back in time to 1958, to the first legal act of the EEC/EU, to highlight the historical significance of Regulation 1/58 whilst featuring a modern approach to that which it symbolises at its core.
The EESC will host the photography exhibition "Kirja, a Finnish Story", featuring the work of Noémie Kreitlow, a young professional photographer from Brussels.
Noémie Kreitlow did a project on Finnish cultural and social identity as part of her photography studies. Her documentary project, carried out in the city of Kouvola and its surroundings, culminated in an exhibition at the Finnish Permanent Representation in Brussels.
