How to be united in our diversity?

What is cultural identity in the context of artistic creation in public space? What is collective and what is personal? How can art reflect identities ? How do one’s roots and cultural heritage enrich the geographical and cultural context in which one creates? How do the variety and diversity of identities contribute to a European identity?
