The B-SHAPES project continues to shed light on the cultural, political, and social dynamics of European border regions. We’re excited to share two new resources that showcase different aspects of this important research.
Documentary: Seeing From The Border
Directed by Zsuzsa Simits, Seeing From The Border offers a compelling glimpse into the work of the B-SHAPES consortium. The film explores key themes including euroscepticism, minority experiences, and the meaning of border landscapes as cultural heritage. Thank you to all involved for capturing the depth and diversity of perspectives across these regions.
