SoloFest6: On the Brink of Disappearance
This year's SoloFest6 places cultural heritage and its transmission at its centre. In the International Solo Festivals, which we organise drawing inspiration from the single-performer storytelling tradition in Kurdish culture, we have sought to pass on and keep alive the single-performer storytelling traditions of local and foreign cultures by giving them a stage.

As the Mordem Art and Ecological Living Association, we have placed gender equality and the women's perspective at the heart of our vision. Since the day we were founded, we have carried on our work with the mission of protecting, strengthening and spreading these values.

Çarşema Zîpa: A ritual that heralds spring in Kurdish culture
Çarşema Zîpa, one of the most colourful nature-related traditions of Kurdish culture, is a spring festival that begins every year on the last Wednesday of February and is celebrated for three weeks according to the region’s ancient nature calendar. The ritual reflects a deep bond with earth, water and air, ancient beliefs and social solidarity.
