Centre for Intercultural Creative Initiatives “Crossroads” is a new public culture institution functioning in Lublin since October 2008. It arises from Foundation “Muzyka Kresów” existing from the early 1990’s, which seeks for the roots of experiencing tradition in archaic music. “Crossroads” Centre, with its passion to explore the roots of our culture, wishes to meet and clash utopia’s of twentieth century’s avant-garde. Furthermore – its goal is show the release of energy which comes from fusion of tradition with new forms of art, achieving creative sparkle between the voices of the past and the sophistication of modern art. We wish to meet different cultural idioms – deriving from cultural and etnic miscellany of our world, as well as confronting incommensurable languages of art.
