In conjunction with current social contexts in Europe, the project queries the function of folklorism within nationalist politics. The point of departure for the project is that current manifestations of folklorism are not only to be understood as an instrument of nationalist politics, but also as their actual production as well. For nationalist politics results, where it is successful, in folklorizing the public sphere a staged and artificially produced homogeneous reality. Artistic productions in Public Folklore will critically explore current phenomena of folklorization in politics, media, tourism, popular culture and commercialism.
