Crossoads. The Middle East and/in Europe

Step into a vibrant celebration of the connections between Europe, the Middle East, and north Africa (MENA). Our festival brings together four unique experiences under one roof.

Start at the Gateway to History, a mini museum challenging you to look beyond surface-level narratives of the past. Move through the Voices of the MENA, where music and video transport you across genres, generations, and migrations. Explore Paris Through Many Eyes, uncovering the architectural landmarks that define both classic Parisian identity and the city's rich MENA heritage through various trivia questions. Finally, satisfy your curiosity and your appetite at the Ma'amoul Workshop, where a food quiz unlocks a hands-on cooking experience, sending you home with a sweet treat and a recipe to remember.
