The modern world is characterized by simultaneous integration and disintegration of existing structures. Relations between countries are constantly changing. Spheres of influences are changing. Is there still room in the 21st century for the promotion of culture, which is officially defined by the borders of countries? How to present the heritage and identity of nations when the position of regions grows? What are the tasks of the institutions which are established to disseminate culture in other countries? These and other questions will be answered by representatives of national institutes of culture in Europe, dealing with international cooperation on a daily basis.
The discussion will be attended by Joanna Tamborska, deputy director of the Danish Cultural Institute – an independent non-governmental organisation that works for international dialogue and mutual understanding, Irene Larazza, general director of the Etxepare Basque Institute, a cultural institution whose mission is to promote the most important elements of Basque culture. Rupert Weinmann, director of the Österreichisches Kulturforum Warschau, organisation responsible for cultural and scientific projects, as well as events aimed at mutual understanding and establishing lasting contacts, will also take part in the conversation. The meeting will be hosted by dr. Karolina Bieniek from the ART TRANSPARENT Contemporary Art Foundation.
