Description: "The European Cultural Centre, a place for reflection, research, and creation for interdisciplinary encounters, provides the conditions to invite artistic and creative practices from all fields since 2011 - visual art, dance, performance, music, literature, architecture... etc., seeing them as a process of learning and experiencing. Indeed, the ECC reflects upon the dynamics of European culture and influences, upon how Europe is seen within and outside its borders. Its aim is to go beyond our geographical borders. Borders - in the widest sense of the word - have to be crossed in order to develop ourselves as human beings. 'To cherish our differences and strengthen cultural commons'- this goal can only become reality if we open ourselves to the world around us and share our thoughts, without prejudice. With VENICE DESIGN as youngest addition to ECC's activities, the ECC has brought and opened up a wider Design field in the city of Venice during the Biennial period"--Introduction.
