In the second episode of the European Pavilion Podcast we ask ourselves: in the light of a post-national and inclusive Europe, how should we address issues of representation? Together with our guests, activists and organizers Zamzam Ibrahim and Jóci Marton, as well as philosopher and novelist Tristan Garcia, we propose to open up the notion of representation and how it resonates politically, aesthetically but also intimately. 

In this first part, we discuss the relation and tension between being present and being represented.
