Newroz is just around the corner — a celebration of renewal, hope, and coming together.

This year once again, Kulturbunker Köln-Mülheim and korsi have joined forces to create a shared program, shaping a day where art, music, and meaningful encounters take center stage. A space to gather across generations, backgrounds, and lived experiences.

And yet, this Newroz feels different.

The news from Iran and Kurdistan weighs heavily on many of us. It brings grief, anger, and deep concern. That is precisely why coming together matters now more than ever — not to escape what is happening, but to face it collectively. To hold space for one another. To make solidarity tangible.

Nowruz is more than a celebration.
It is a reminder. A commitment.

A day that tells us: after every long night, light returns. That culture, resistance, and memory stay alive when we carry them together. That our voices must not fall silent — especially when speaking up feels urgent.

We want to open a space where everything can exist at once:
Grief and anger.
Closeness and tenderness.
Hope and connection.

A space to celebrate our cultures, share stories, listen, dance, reflect — and move forward together.
