De:Oriento

A festival of first-civilization cultures

P: Sahar Homami

The DE:ORIENTO festival aims to make accessible the diversity of cultures once known as »oriental« in an interactive way. Several stages present between literature and music in turn, while a variety of food stands tempt visitors with culinary delights. Book stands with Arabic, Hebrew, and European literature invite you to take your experiences home with you for a deep dive. Visual art, including photos, paintings, and much more will be on display. Children can enjoy a makeup stand, puppet theatre, and workshops on Arabic calligraphy. The festival appeals to a broad audience, regardless of age and origin. The events are consciously multilingual to create an inclusive atmosphere and welcome people from a wide range of communities.
