SHARING THE UNIVERSAL? La Fabrique de Méditerranée NO. 3

“Europe can no longer consider itself the center of the world. The universal is not, and is no longer a European norm, which asserts itself in the name of ‘the’ civilization. Hasn’t the time come to share the universal? What does this mean on the scale of the Mediterranean? Through the sharing of languages, the sharing of memories, and the sharing of human rights, not forgetting the singular gaze of photographers, as well as the sharing of music and flavors, here we seek to explore the contours of a Mediterranean way of life.”
