De:Oriento

The DE:ORIENTO festival aims to make the diversity of cultures that were once called oriental accessible in an interactive way. Literature and music were presented alternately on several stages, while various food stalls tempted visitors to savour culinary delights. Book stands with Arabic, Hebrew and European literature invited visitors to take what they had experienced home with them and deepen their knowledge there. There was art on display - photos, paintings and much more. For children, there was a make-up stand, puppet theatre and workshops in Arabic calligraphy. The festival aims to appeal to a wide audience, regardless of age and origin. The multilingual nature of the events creates an inclusive atmosphere that involves people from different communities.
