SUMMARY:Photography exhibition: ‘the Faces behind the cases’
DESCRIPTION:Eurodiaconia invites you to the Chapel for Europe for the photography exhibition ‘the Faces behind the cases’. \nThe campaign ‘the Faces behind the cases’ combines evocative photographic portraits of women who have found themselves on the move – taken by Yulia Dobrynina – with first-hand narratives from the women themselves. This is a member-led campaign sharing the stories of five women navigating a completely new social and labour reality\, reflecting on their daily struggles to find their way. \n\n\nThe event aims to platform their voices\, challenge stereotypes\, highlight systemic barriers\, and celebrate the resilience and contributions of women on the move in our societies. Along the way\, we highlight Eurodiaconia members’ work in ensuring newcomers feel welcomed and included as soon as they arrive\, not only to access services\, but to find space to heal\, connect\, and build meaningful relationships within their new communities. \nIf you have any questions\, please get in touch with Donal Brady. \nThe exposition will be showcased at the Chapel for Europe until November 30\, 2025\, during the Chapel’s opening hours: Mondays through Thursdays\, 12:00 to 14:00.

SUMMARY:Opening of the Exhibition-Laboratory: “If you leave\, you take the Trinity with you”
DESCRIPTION:Opening of the Exhibition- Laboratory \n“If you leave\, you take the Trinity with you” The Council of Nicaea and the origin of Knowledge as Relation \nIn occasion of the celebration of 1700 years since the First Council of Nicaea. \nThe exhibition aims to help us decisively take a new path\, as expressed in a quote attributed to Saint Gregory of Nazianzus when he was stopped at the gates of the city “If you leave\, you take the Trinity with you.” Those who were leaving should carry the Trinity (the Father\, the Son\, and the Holy Spirit) in their hearts and lives. The Trinity is not just a theological concept but a present reality to be experienced and incarnated into the world. \nIn Nicaea I\, the Trinity is understood in its fascinating tension between knowledge and relationship\, originated by a  happening when Saint Spyridon of Tremithus\,  Bishop of Cyprus\, performed a miracle involving a brick to demonstrate the Holy Trinity. It revealed itself to the listeners in its three elements of water\, earth\, and fire while remaining one. It is an eye-opener not only for the originality with which the Trinity can become creatively and concrete vividly in the world\, but also for the necessity of seeing God in relationships of all kinds. \nThe exhibition is a kind of laboratory that\, in the context of Nicaea I\, not only shows how word\, image\, and matter are interwoven\, but also how we can recognize one in the other without separating or mixing them. The goal is to practice sincerity of understanding\, which\, according to Guardini\, means: “Knowledge is always somehow an encounter in love.” \n1st part: Relationship in the word \n2nd part: Relationship with the image\, with the image embodied \n3rd part: Relationship with the other\, with this source of renewal \nThe exhibition will be open for visits until Thursday 16th October 2025. \nOrganisers and curators:\nProf. Dr. Yvonne DOHNA SCHLOBITTEN – Professor at the Faculty of History and Cultural Heritage of the Church – Pontifical Gregorian University and Prof. Dr. Lucian LECHINTAN sj – Pontifical Oriental Institute.

SUMMARY:Vernissage of the art exhibition            "Burnt Landscapes" by Claire Forgeot
DESCRIPTION:The Chapel for Europe together with the European Laudato Si’ Alliance (ELSiA)\, invites you to the \nVernissage of the art exhibition “Burnt Landscapes”\, paintings by Claire Forgeot on Tuesday\, 1 October at 19:00 at the Chapel.\n \nThe Chapel for Europe is delighted to host the paintings by Claire Forgeot and to have her here to tell us more about them. This opportunity has been offered to us by the European Laudato Si’ Alliance (ELSia)\, which wanted to organize an event in Brussels to celebrate the end of the Creation Season\, combining the exhibition of the French painter\, whose work are inspired by the experience of burnt landscapes\, with a half-day conference the following morning on the theme of water. \nSince 2004\, after the shock of witnessing the burning of a mountain slope on a Greek island\, Claire Forgeot has been working on the traces of fire in the landscape. Initially\, her focus was on calcined black and its relationship to color. Then she experimented with the fire itself by scarifying paper. Later\, in search of a metaphorical herbarium\, she collected plants from gardens and trees found in the landscapes of France and Greece. When talking about her work\, the image of a path often comes to mind\, one of those stony\, narrow and steep paths that she often walked. The progress is slow and winding. Occasionally a ridge line or the passage of a pass offers a glimpse of what lies ahead. At the end\, a new landscape reveals itself\, a moment of wonder. \n
