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.
