In the wake of the Soviet Union's collapse, the bonds forged between twenty nations under the sway of the Red Star have dissolved. What exactly united them in the first place? Eastern Europe is more than the sum total of its annexations, invasions an dindependence declarations. From the Baltics to the Balkans, from Prague to Kyiv, the area exuded a tragicomic character like no other. This book breathes life into the region's departed centuries: charting the rise and fall of empires – Ottoman, Habsburg and Russian – nations singing themselves into being, and havens for heretics. It was a place where Muslims assisted Catholics in cutting the Yule Log, where you could live in six different countries without ever leaving your house, and where wars were fought over alphabets. This is a paean for a disappearing world of movable borders, sacred groves and syncretism. And an invitation to not forget.

Lobby by Dutch photographer Suzanne Schols offers a unique and detailed view into the European climate lobby. In an attempt to enhance the visibility and transparency of the world of lobbying, Suzanne asked 122 interest groups for permission to take a photograph of the lobbies of their Brussels-based offices. The book combines image and text and invites the viewer to navigate a labyrinth of lobbies ranging from corporates, consulting firms and trade associations to NGO?s, labour unions and religious groups. Who granted her access and who denied? LOBBY shows who seeks to influence policy-making in a time when climate change is permeating all domains of society. 00Exhibition: Fotomuseum Den Haag, The Hague, The Netherlands (28.10-17.03.2024)
