Julez exhibition "The New Neighbours" in Munich - Kunstlabor2

The New Neighbours - The traditional world is full of authorities, prohibitions, class distinctions, races, etc. ... Cultural diversity has been geographically or politically separated for centuries.
Cultural diversity is necessary for humanity because it is a source of exchange, innovation and creativity. In this sense, it represents the common heritage of humanity and must be recognised and consolidated for the benefit of present and future generations.
"I believe that mixing and merging (of cultures, arts, races, food, music, etc.) is one of the positive ways of humanity. It is a means of access to a satisfying intellectual, affective, moral and spiritual existence and therefore expands the choices available to all with greater tolerance, openness and curiosity about the new."
