Crossing Border is an international music and literature and arts festival in The Hague, the Netherlands, founded in 1992 as a nonprofit organisation.
Main event is the annual Crossing Border Festival which pioneered, in bringing together two art forms that used to be considered poles apart: contemporary literature and popular music.
Crossing Border is an adventurous festival, with a staggering line-up of international and contemporary writers, spoken word artists, storytellers and musicians. Household names next to raw talent. It also offers regular crossover programs with other disciplines such as modern art, theatre or film.
Crossing Border also organises many literary events throughout the year like BorderKitchen.

Warren Ellis is a legend! And that moment when he talks about animal sanctuary is what humanity is all about for me.
