Crossover uk is comprised of artists, designers and academics who aim to facilitate the exchange of ideas to promote cultural awareness between communities of different cultural origins and backgrounds. The group promotes cultural awareness of ethnic minority communities particularly those from Japan and South East Asia. Crossovers uk uses the visual arts as a vehicle for initiating discussion across disciplines, developing new audiences, in order to address questions of social and ecological concern both locally and globally.
