Crimea has long been a crossroads of diverse cultures, a place where many nations and peoples have come together. It has provided inspiration for artists, writers, poets and musicians since antiquity. Drawing attention to the unique historical heritage of Bakhchisaray and the cultural diversity of the region, and its interaction with neighbouring countries, the organizers of the present project see art as a universal language capable of bridging gaps both between people and between peoples. Despite the ambiguity of the current political situation in the Crimea and deep historical differences, it is hoped that this exhibition will find common ground between the national and cultural entities involved and point towards the possibility of harmonious coexistance. Bahchisaray State Museum, the adjacent park, the Turkish cemetery, Sokolinaya Tower and other historical and cultural surroundings will offer spaces for the site-sensitive projects of the participants. The project will bring together leading artists from Greece, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine, countries which have been closely linked to the Crimea for centuries.
