The one-week-long summer camp will focus on following issues: - growing nationalist tendencies in former Eastern European countries as well as "Old Europe", - post-soviet and post-colonial condition, - art in the service of national identity building, - nationalism and its relation to patriotism, - nationalism and its relation to internationalism, - exploiting official and unofficial attributes of nation state in contemporary art, - representation of migration, guest workers and illegal status, - performing citizenship.
