As a consequence of immigration, globalisation and economic recession, patriotism is on the rise around the world. How we deal with love of country and nationalism is an important challenge of our time. ¡Patria o Libertad! presents video works by 22 international artists, all investigating the diverse forms that patriotism embodies.
