Hub Idea
Mordem Sanat, Şaneşîn Performance, and Nîsk Huner have come together as a unified hub with a common mission: the preservation of Kurdish culture, language, and traditional forms. Their collaborative programme focuses on researching, documenting, and revitalising traditional Kurdish festivals, such as Bûka Baranê, Newroz, and others, creating an archive and a photo-video documentary. The diverse target audience includes disadvantaged groups, youth, women, artists, and culture enthusiasts. This initiative not only safeguards cultural heritage but also promotes community engagement and open dialogue, making it a vital resource for cultural preservation and public involvement.Diyarbakır

Çarşema Zîpa: Voices of Tradition and Inclusion
A transnational exchange amongst LabHub, THEAMA, and Lesvos Solidarity to foster cultural preservation, inclusion, and empowerment for marginalised communities through four key activities.Cultural Film Screening & Discussion
LabHub will screen a documentary on Kurdish heritage, sparking discussions on preserving cultural identities. This aims to deepen understanding and appreciation of Kurdish traditions.
Inclusive Theatre Workshop
THEAMA will lead a workshop on inclusive theatre, starting with the film “We All Come From Somewhere.” The workshop will educate participants on creating accessible artistic expressions, enhancing skills in inclusive productions, and promoting the representation of disabled artists and refugees.
Storytelling Workshop
THEAMA and LabHub will facilitate a storytelling workshop, empowering participants to share their narratives. This activity aims to collect powerful refugee stories, providing a platform for self-expression and fostering a sense of community.
Puppet Creation Workshops
Solidarity Lesvos, in cooperation with LabHub & THEAMA, will lead workshops where participants will create puppets from recycled materials. These puppets will integrate cultural traditions and personal stories, made accessible to the blind through tactile elements and audio recordings. This promotes cultural preservation and inclusion.
Through these activities, our partnership bridges cultural gaps, promotes inclusion, and embodies solidarity and mutual respect to create a more inclusive world.
Çarşema Zîpa: Voices of Tradition and Inclusion is created in partnership with THEAMA from Athens and Solidarity Lesvos Mitilini, Greece.
