artsXchange is a partnership of community and cultural
groups in the King's Cross area. We
were formed after the events of 7 July 2007. We nurture our separate cultural activities and share them with
one another to increase mutual understanding by
- using the visual and performing arts to stimulate discussions and
debates on what unites us and what divides us
- seeing what some call "the clash of cultures" as an
opportunity to work for a more vigorous, fruitful and tolerant
society, and to link the generations
- encouraging all our neighbours to express themselves in ways that
give them confidence and empower them
- looking to the highpoints – such as Moorish Spain – where the
exchange between Muslim, Jewish and Christian cultures led to the
founding of Oxford and other universities through Europe, and to the
Renaissance.
We work for a self-sustaining way of life
by
- learning how the environment is treated by different races, who use
energy in vastly different amounts, and by advocating the most
appropriate means for our environmental sustainability
- encouraging an economically self-sustaining environment locally,
encouraging young people to maximise their chances of jobs.
- valuing skills, hearing how they were used at other times and other
cultures
- encouraging initiatives
If you would like to take part with us in this shared
endeavour – as a partner, participant, artist, writer, speaker,
fundraiser etc – please contact us.
