This is the guiding theme for Night of Culture 2025, taking place on the night of 7/8 June 2025 in Lublin.

Forget fleeting glances; our city is built on the enduring interplay of relationships that shape how we experience its places and connect with others The bond between you and Lublin is forged in the small, often unnoticed moments: the way you see a historic building, the path you take across a square,  a shared unspoken moment beside a stranger at traffic lights.

These subtle interactions connect us to this place, and through it, to one another.

Night of Culture, as people collectively fill the streets, is the spark that ignites these relationships. They blend, intertwine, and reveal themselves in vibrant new ways. We become observers of the connections between everything – objects, phenomena, individuals, and communities. The concept of “relations” echoes through mathematics, philosophy, and psychology, offering a rich lens through which to view our city.

Let this broad and inspiring theme be your personal call to action: to actively notice every connection and correlation, and to help us uncover the intricate interplays that define Lublin. On this night, relationships will not just be the theme; they will be the experience.

On this night, relationships will not just be present; they will be paramount.

In a city that can sometimes feel like a whisper in the crowd, art offers a vital space for reaction, for response, for reciprocity, for genuine dialogue.

We see Lublin as a dynamic, living entity, powered by the energy of its connections.

And these connections won’t fade at dawn. They will remain with you, a spark to continue building new relationships – with each other, with the city, with culture itself.
