A fractured Europe, new uncontrolled migrations, business tycoons turned into new Caesars, ignorance without borders, violence inside and outside the home. And vice versa: a conscious economy, multicultural societies, courageous acts by courageous people, millennials projected towards sharing, borders that resist openness.

Today seems to be a time of disorientation and uncertainty. We are anchored to a present we do not like; polls speak of mistrust and discontent; the media show images of attacks, refugees, environmental disasters; politics mainly tells of itself lost in rampant individualism. Yet reality seems to be less worse than it is perceived to be, and statistical data provide other numbers.

But then what era are we living in? Are we allowed to be optimistic about the future, or is the present nothing more than the prelude to a new Middle Ages?

For us, NOW is all that. We want to be optimistic and believe in new possible revolutions, but we look reality in the face with the eyes of artists who live and interpret the present. Whether they are caustic, provocative, irreverent, condemning or astonishing.
