6th Festival of World Cultures „Window onto the World” 2010
Gdansk, 18-06-2010 - 20-06-2010
Festival of World Cultures is not focused on ethno, folk or world music – Festival concentrates mostly on modern creation taking place here and now, being a vivid response given by artists to questions occurring in surrounding reality and seeking for common artistic denominator for people of different cultures. What iterests us are the artistic cooperations, intercultural projects between artists active in countries not of their origins. We would like to offer events which are equally breaking certain boundaries based on stereotypical thinking, and at the same time are exciting, full of joy, infusing audience with energy.
Gdańsk – the city on water
Gdansk, 28-05-2010 - 30-05-2010
Start: 4 p.m.Gdańsk is quite uniquely located at the crossroads of sea and river routes, waterways of the Vistula river at the Baltic estuary, as well as the Radunia and Motława rivers. This specific waterscape and landscape have determined the spatial development of the town. The daily living as shown in literary and iconographic records proves that water was the omnipresent element of the city’s life.
It is important today to show Gdańsk through its relation to water. It could serve as a starting point for the improvement of existing and future public spaces, establishing the directions and the character of the town’s development in the future as well as identifying of challenges. The Gdańsk future vision should incorporate water as the basis for formulating the town’s concept of freedom, creating attractive public space – venue for artistic expression and daily activity of the inhabitants. It’s high time the new image of Gdańsk was developed – that of the town on water, with all its ideological and social consequences.
These and other issued will be addressed by the participants of the panel discussion, as well as the publications: the folder Gdańsk – city on water and the map The journey along the Gdańsk waterway. The texts included there were written according to the most recent research and studies in the historical, archeological and archeological context.
This unusual lesson on the city on water will be accompanied by artistic stops, where artists in different forms of expression will relate to the Gdańsk waterfronts.
The project is organized by the Baltic Sea Cultural Centre in Gdansk, in co-operation with the Society of Polish Town Planners/ Division in Gdańsk, Department of Architecture at Gdańsk University of Technology, Central Maritime Museum, National Archives in Gdańsk, The Association of Polish Archivists/ Division in Gdansk.

4th Festival of World's Cultures “Window onto the World”
Gdańsk, 11-09-2008 - 14-09-2008
How to combine embroidery with belly dance? What connections are there between the world's reggae legend and an orchestra of punk mandolinists? Is it possible to put together an American pioneer of the ambient and a producer of impressive visualizations with Serbian avant-garde artists who create their art from discarded scrapes? What has cabaret country-punk in common with fairytale-like combinations of jazz and electronic music?
Or perhaps it doesn't make sense to search for fake links and tracks? Perhaps it’s not worth explaining and theorizing?
Clashes, surprises, bewilderment.

3rd Festival of World Cultures "Window onto the World" 2007
Gdansk, 26-09-2007 - 30-09-2007
Every year in September, the Tri-City stirs up with an unusual mixture of sounds, languages and colours. We present to our audience artists from various cultural backgrounds: those who work far away from their home countries, and those who draw inspiration from other exotic cultures. Our Festival has become a yearly art event, which cheerfully affirms cultural and artistic variety, establishes the rapport between different nations as well as nurtures mutual tolerance, respect and understanding through art. By means of the festival, we would like to promote positive social attitudes in our city, which in the past functioned as a meeting place of many nations and cultures.
