Providing insight into the diverse cultural expressions existing within the EU.
Bringing them together and showcasing them.
PARTICIPATE
AND CREATE YOUR CULTURAL PANEL
You are invited to participate in the project Voices by making a panel, a canvas, quilt or flag and visualize your culture. Each work represents a region, dialect or a local culture , a voice of Europe.
A huge patchwork of works, assembling 720 cultural groups and skills exhibit the image of current Europe. Every cultural form, every profession, every artistic craft, every art form finds its place here. This collage is made available to the European institutions.
You don’t have to be an artist and may choose to create a panel individually or together with your friends or colleagues. That choice, like virtually everything else involved in making your panel, is completely up to you.
In collaboration with your club, school or cultural institution, you are challenged to use your local crafts, materials and skills.
You’re also asked to make a short video of your “work in progress”. Submitted videos compiled into the documentary “Voices, from all over Europe” will be shown in (cultural) cinemas and online.
Social and cultural interaction on European level
The Voices project is an initiative that is gaining increasing support and is growing thanks to the number of the diverse submissions. The project explores a wide variety of cultural forms and expressions that Europe has to offer. As the collection grows, opportunities for exhibitions and publications are also being further explored. The Cult Foundation will inform and credit creators and participating organizations in exhibitions, publications and screenings.
Prizes and Praises
Prizes and Praises will be given to selected submissions of outstanding creative and innovative quality.

This project is a statement that European cultural values can flourish together.
