>Rising stars and hopes of music markets in Ukraine and Belaru as well as Bastarda?s live accompaniment to Oleksandr Dovzhenko?s famous ?Earth? are the next attractions coming up at East of Culture ? Different Sounds 2018 which takes place in Lublin between 28 June and 1 July

iv class='repsonsive-image'> >One of the key ideas of East of Culture ? Different Sounds is to introduce the most interesting and original musical and cultural phenomena from the countries of our eastern neighbours. Artists from Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia or Armenia are increasingly bolder in conquering European markets, putting forward ambitious, innovative and exploratory projects. For the past few years, we have been presenting both contemporary bands that employ modern sound and language and those who are more strongly rooted in tradition. This allows us to demonstrate the full range of what is happening in the music scenes of Eastern Partnership countries.

iv class='repsonsive-image'> >East of Culture is a cultural project integrating artists from cities in eastern Poland (Bialystok, Lublin and Rzeszow) and artists from Eastern Partnership countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldavia and Ukraine). It is carried out by the National Centre for Culture and the three Polish cities. The project aims at presenting and helping discover the unique aspects of each culture as well as at facilitating the sharing of artistic experiences. Over time, the festival has become a bridge connecting our Eastern partners with the broader European culture. In 2018, East of Culture takes place for the 6th time. The project has been made possible thanks to the involvement of creative groups and local governments of Eastern Poland and the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage
