First meeting of the Mediterranean Cultural Parliament
Strasbourg, 25-26 June 2008


On the occasion of the Conference on “Intercultural Dialogue: utopias and situations”, 25 - 26 June 2008, Strasbourg held in the Palais du Rhin by courtesy of the Alsace Regional Department for Cultural Affairs (DRAC) and with the support of the Council of Europe and the Strasbourg Italian Cultural Institute, Michelangelo Pistoletto presents his scheme to create a Mediterranean Cultural Parliament.
The presentation takes place around his artwork entitled “Love Difference Table”, a mirror-table in the shape of the Mediterranean. For several years the Italian artist has been working on art co-operation and the means deployed to implement this particular way of helping European citizens face their social difficulties in different political situations.
