Turkish & Kurdish Community Centre (Day-Mer) announced that they will organize the annual culture and art festival, which will be held online for the second year in a row due to the pandemic.
The festival which traditionally organises in Clissold Park attracting tens of thousands of community members as well as a the local community.
In a statement, Day-Mer said “This year, our traditional culture and art festival is taking place under pandemic conditions. The Covid pandemic, which affected the whole world, negatively affected all areas of life, as well as cultural and artistic activities. Due to the restrictions imposed on people coming together physically due to the epidemic, online activities have become a part of our lives, even if we don’t want it. Unfortunately, we had to hold our 32nd Culture and Art Festival, which we were preparing for, mostly online this year due to the extension of the restrictions.
Adding that “As witnessed by Turkish, Kurdish and Cypriot migrant workers living in London, Day-Mer’s waiting is not passive but active. Day-Mer, whose name is the abbreviation of Solidarity Center, has been in solidarity efforts throughout the pandemic. We have mobilized all our resources for the segments most affected by the pandemic, and we continue to do so. We will continue to expand this solidarity throughout all the activities we organize as part of the 32nd Culture and Art Festival.
“Until we meet again at Clissold Park, where we host countless artists from Turkey, Europe and England, we invite you to raise our voices and share our calls so that our voice and calls reach more people. Hoping to meet at festival events…”
The festival will be held on July 4th starting from 8.30 am till 8 pm, with artists joining to perform live online as many more topics will be covered, to joining in and watch the festival you can following the Day-Mer Facebook page which will be broadcasting the celebration.
