With long years of resistance against the inhuman Policies and the pains in being criminalized to have stood for our basic rights. We could still raise our heads high from your collective warm force of solidarity in the struggle to recapture our dignity as Humans.
Through organized demonstrations on our part, Protest actions, Conferences and gatherings that resulted in selective lager isolation and deportation as punishment for showing resistance, our Songs and Poems, artistic Pictures and Paintings, our dances and music of resistance against all barbaric policies that torments the daily life of us as Victims. Our cultural diversity that expressed the principle of solidarity with the desire for freedom that has given us the energy and strength to live and continue to fight.
It is in the same spirit that we seek your contribution through inspiration of arts to the Festival. It may be by performances and presentations that would integrate Spectators and motivate them to participate actively rather than just being Passive guest. It may also be in form of a common project presentation as an expression of solidarity and a show of the necessity for collective resistance like the song “Letzte Warnung” (last warning)in memory of Alberto Adriano who was murdered by Nazis in June 2000 in Dessau.
