A Warm Invitation to the Nowruz Celebration at the PACT Foyer! 🪻
Nowruz is widely celebrated not only in Afghanistan, Kurdistan, and Iran but also by many people in Germany. At PACT, we come together on this special day and warmly invite you to join us in celebrating the arrival of spring and the new year!
Our Sofreh Haftsin will serve as both a photo station for diasporic communities and our chosen family. Additionally, Taiiz Nawab will play an uplifting DJ set featuring Afghan, Kurdish, and Iranian music.
Let’s welcome the new year together—raise a glass, capture family moments, and dance! Because dance is life, and life is resistance.
