IDEA OF RE:UNION
The motto reflects the idea of Lublin’s application for the title of European Capital of Culture 2029. For Lublin, the historical perspective is only a starting point to revise the concept of a union in the current and future conditions.
- reintegration as a natural counteraction to the disintegration caused by the pandemic, crisis, and war
- increase in the quality, intensity, and frequency of interpersonal contacts
- accepting multiple value systems, norms, and assessments while recognizing their common points
- a new social contract where everyone feels, and is important
- building a real community
- a dialogue between various fields of art, cultures, generations, tradition, and modernity; the past and the future.
- a union of entities under a single banner and idea
- a meeting
