Thessaloniki hosts for the first time this year Thessaloniki Cultural Crossroads: a five-year programme that will bring some of the world’s greatest cultures to the northern city.
Each year will be dedicated to one admirable culture and its ties with the rich cultural history of the city.
In 2011, the spotlight falls on Middle Eastern cultures, with the cultural agencies of the city hosting an array of events: musical and theatrical productions, exhibitions, feature film and documentary festivals, culinary events, conferences and symposia, honouring the cultural wealth of the Middle East region.
The National Theatre of Northern Greece, the Cinema Museum and the Photography Museum of the city (among many others) participate in the events. Balkan cultures will be the focus of 2012, coinciding with the celebrations for the centenary anniversary of the liberation of Thessaloniki.
