Small World Cinema celebrates Nawroz (Kurdish New Year)

Azad | 26.02.2009 18:32

Say Goodbye To the winter, here comes Spring

The next Small World Cinema on Wednesday 25th March is a few days after Kurdish New Year, ('Nawroz' - March 21st).

Come and celebrate with members of the Kurdish community from Nottingham Refugee Forum.

Gather for Vegan Kurdish food (and bar) from 7pm; presentation and films from 8pm



Join us in welcoming Year 2709!

For the Kurds, this is not just celebrating another date in the calendar nor is it a religious occasion. It is a political act. The event has until recently been an illegal festival. The memory of the massacre of 102 Kurds, by Turkish forces in 1992 is still raw in everyone’s mind and it is only recently that the holiday was de-criminalised in Turkey.

Newroz celebrates the victory of Kawa the Blacksmith who avenged the death of thousands of young Kurds at the hands of an evil king named Zohak. The tyrant drank their blood after making a Faustian pact with the devil to immortalize his wicked reign.
