AVIA, Europe a family matter

AVIA portrays women* and their stories, in connection with the European continent. Their unique life journeys illustrate the changes in our way of life, our interpersonal relationships and the struggles we have fought and still have to fight.
AVIA are conversations between grandmothers and granddaughters where they tell (each other) their reality as young women. This provides an overview of almost 70 years and gives us the opportunity to imagine the direction our future should take, with all the challenges it will bring.
On the one hand, the women interviewed belong to the silent generation, born between 1929 and 1950, at the beginning of the birth boom. On the other hand, 50 to 70 years later, the granddaughters belong to the Millennials and Gen Z. The grandmothers directly experienced the first developments of the EU's predecessors. They became adult women under the Soviet regime, the Spanish dictatorship or even in Greece. They are women who fled their countries to escape the conflicts and wars in which European countries have been embroiled for so many years.
AVIA invites dialogue between generations and bridges the gap between these seemingly so different generations. With the talks, I would like to pause for a moment. The aim is to bring women who have worked in secret for decades, who have shaped the social environment and taken care of many, into dialogue with young women who today take on a lot of responsibility to move society forward.
