An ordinary cow? Can an ordinary cow also be an interesting one ?
We think however that this rather trivial theme has many sides to explore. Not only its typical physical aspects catch the eye or the differences between the races, our cow is a major supplier of nutrition.
In Kenia and Tanzania cows not only get milked but the Masai also drink their blood and even the urine is used to counteract acidification of the cows’ milk.
The animal was and still is honoured as a manifestation of one or other divinity, whether as the Egyptian Hathor or as the Minoan bull of Kreta. And who isn't aware of the holy cows in India ?
In many countries cow manure is gathered and dried to be used as fuel. Cattle horns are used as a cup, as powder box or helmet decoration...
In Spain and in the south of France, local varieties of the corrida recall a long gone religious experience, roots going back all the way to the shamanic prehistory. American cowboys speed from one bullfight to another rodeo.
Are cows boring? We don't think so.

To vote or not to vote
This time it's different
Ruse, Bulgaria
2014
Organizers:
Europe Direct Information Center, Ruse
The European Institute, Sofia
Ruse Art Gallery, 7000 Ruse, 39 Borisova str.
FECO Bulgaria
Concept:
The contest will focus at The 2014 European elections. The elections on 22-25 May will give voters the chance to influence the future political course of the European Union when they elect the 751 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) to represent their interests for the next five years
Why are these elections different?
As the European Union seeks to pull through the economic crisis and EU leaders reflect on what direction to take in future, these are the most important European elections to date.
They not only allow voters to pass judgment on EU leaders' efforts to tackle the eurozone crisis and to express their views on plans for closer economic and political integration; they are also the first elections since the Lisbon Treaty of 2009 gave the European Parliament a number of important new powers.
One major new development introduced by the Treaty is that, when the EU member states nominate the next president of the European Commission to succeed José Manuel Barroso in autumn 2014, they will - for the first time - have to take account of the European election results. The new Parliament must endorse this candidate: it 'elects' the Commission president, in the words of the Treaty. This means voters now have a clear say in who takes over at the helm of EU government.
The new political majority that emerges from the elections will also shape European legislation over the next five years in areas from the single market to civil liberties. The Parliament - the only directly elected EU institution - is now a linchpin of the European decision-making system and has an equal say with national governments on nearly all EU laws.
