From 4 to 7 November 2025, the Latvian Academy of Culture (LAC) will host the international conference series “Culture Crossroads XIX,” which will once again bring together researchers, students, policymakers, cultural professionals, and representatives of the creative industries to discuss current developments in culture and the arts. Over four days, the conference series will offer a wide thematic and format diversity – from the role of culture in social development and youth civic participation to the impact of artificial intelligence on cultural content and the latest research in cultural and creative industries.
