{"id":211,"count":8,"description":"Atypical, and yet compelled to define itself, CRUCE identifies as a Cultural Association (notably and tellingly: non-profit). An association because it proudly acknowledges having existed uninterruptedly since 1993 thanks to its members\u2019 dues. Cultural, because it undeniably belongs to the cultural sphere, though throughout its existence it has observed how much both the very concept of culture and the role assigned to it in society have changed\u2014society being, paradoxically, both starved for and saturated with cultural activity.\r\n\r\nFrom its beginnings to the present day, CRUCE has embraced a radical indeterminacy and has gone to great lengths to avoid answering the question \u201cWhat is CRUCE?\u201d This is not an attempt to evade having a clearly defined purpose. For many reasons, this indeterminacy has been\u2014and remains\u2014essential to CRUCE\u2019s existence. Only through this lack of definition can it claim the authority to speak freely, with the independence of one who refuses to see itself as a representative of anything or anyone, unconcerned with defining its being or pursuing a goal that might validate its existence\u2014because it does not wish to be anything.\r\n\r\nAs an association, CRUCE has\u2014without intending to\u2014become a model of association in at least one crucial respect: its members and friends contribute to its continued existence despite not knowing, from the start, what exactly it is they are sustaining. And for that very reason, CRUCE exists solely through the trust that only they place in the reach of its endeavor. Therefore, beyond the many activities that take place within CRUCE\u2014without which, of course, it could not exist\u2014what matters first and foremost to its members is simply that CRUCE exists.\r\n\r\nIn place of the question it has resisted from the outset (\u201cWhat is CRUCE?\u201d), another has taken shape\u2014one considered more fundamental: \u201cWhat to do with CRUCE?\u201d A question posed as a challenge, one that opens the door to all possible meanings, and that captures the ambition underlying it: not merely to propose a doing with, but to acknowledge a background of non-doing, a kind of purposelessness necessarily shared by those who, despite themselves and without knowing it, continue to form a community.","link":"https:\/\/dev.azhr.tv\/proyector.info\/en\/venue\/cruce\/","name":"Cruce","slug":"cruce","taxonomy":"venue","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.azhr.tv\/proyector.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue\/211","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.azhr.tv\/proyector.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.azhr.tv\/proyector.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/venue"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.azhr.tv\/proyector.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?venue=211"},{"href":"https:\/\/dev.azhr.tv\/proyector.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/screening?venue=211"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
