The test of courage comes when you are in the minority.
The test of tolerance comes when you are in the majority.

International Dialogue Center in Krasnogruda

Since the beginning Czesław Miłosz has been a spiritual patron of the project of founding the Center. The manor-house in Krasnogruda, situated at the Polish-Lithuanian border, close to Sejny, once belonged to the relatives of Miłosz's mother. It is the most desirable site of the future Center, because it will focus on multicultural heritage of Kingdom of Poland and Grand Duchy of Lithuania and its new understanding in the context of unifying Europe.

Is it possible to write a novel which would, as Flaubert have dreamt, "hold itself thanks to the strenght of style, as the Earth floats in the space without and pillar". Would it be a natural novel, which names all the visible things, certainty of things?

In the collection of short sketches Claudio Magris talks about the adventure of modernism: by contemplating works of Hofmannsthal, Canetti, Musil, Svev, Kafka he is discussing a modern crisis of culture, loss of fundaments, dissolution of "oneself", unrooting of a human being. When he writes about the literature, he tackles other subjects, like for example opportunities and dangers, which still concern us...

October 1944: Karina, part of the Fruli region in north-eastern Italy, is occupied by Germans and their allies Cossacks, who were promised the separate country in this region. From the story of a witness, who in the following years will research different stories of the same event, we learn a contradictory mosaic of never explained events...

House of the Borderland, a new site of the Center "Borderland of Arts, Cultures, Nations," was founded in a reconstructed building of a long history. In Sejny it was called an Old Post Office, because for many years, starting in the late 19th century, there was a post office. More...


First synagogue in Sejny that was wooden and covered by shingle, was built in 1780s. In 1885 rabbi Moses Becalel Luria initiated the construction of a brick temple that is in existence today. Now the Center "Borderland of Arts, Cultures, Nations" is its host. The building contains the White Synagogue Gallery and the Borderland Tiny Bookstore. More...


In October 1990 Sejny Town Council conceded us some of the rooms in old yeshiva - Talmudic school. It became the first seat of the Borderland. The funds for necessary repairs were provided by Andrzej Wajda Foundation, a senator from Suwałki region at the time. In a short time a chamber room for exhibitions, dramas and concerts came into being. Also, it was here that the Documentation Center of Borderland Cultures started.
