Exhibition “The Third Culture”

 The EU-MAN organisation represents migrant artists globally, giving all members free expression in their artistic output.

Migrants face the challenge of relating to two cultures - the original one and that of the new society 

The world of the migrant artist may be even more intriguing as the artistic expression has to explore the unknown. As society with its values changes by immigration a new dimension emerges in the artist’s mind and opens new horizons. 

This leaves the artist reflecting on all aspects of the two cultures to be explored and experienced. 

Artists stand “in between” and create their own space. They transfer aspects of the original culture in the immigration process to a new artistic expression. 

This was the root of the concept of a third culture as a theme for the 10th anniversary of EU-MAN which will be celebrated with an exhibition in 2007.  

Experiencing the intermediate space of the migrant artist, between the original culture and the new, gives energy to a Third Culture.
