The City provides with a unique opportunity to create and be created in many different ways.  Identities and cultures become an indentifying marker against a backdrop of individuality.  Against the backdrop of skyscrapers, new opportunities are born.  In these intersections paintings, literature, architecture, and performance, amongst many other mediums we find a complex, multi-faceted and often fragmented collage of cultures forming a snapshot of human existence.  Intersections serve as a reminder of where humanity becomes a cosmopolitan endeavor.  At our conference we will discuss these connections.
