Téigh isteach i gceiliúradh geal dathanna, cruthaitheachta agus cultúir ag Threads of Culture, ócáid Culture Night saor in aisce a léiríonn ealaín agus oidhreacht faisin Afraice. Faigh amach áilleacht agus scéalta na bhféilte traidisiúnta agus comhaimseartha Afracach agus de réir mar a ghlacann dearthóirí áitiúla agus samhlacha pobail páirte sa rian faisin beo. Brabhsáil taispeántais d’aicéid mhála Afraice álainn, buail le díoltóirí áitiúla éadaí, agus foghlaim conas a léann faisin aitheantas, stair agus léiriú cultúrtha trasna an mhór-roinne Afraice.

Iniúch an domhan cruthaitheach de fhasin inbhuanaithe trí léirithe ar athúsáid éadaí agus athchleachtadh fabraicí, ag leagan béime ar conas is féidir a thabhairt do theicstílí saol nua agus dramhaíl a laghdú. Cibé an tú féin díograiseoir faisin, spéis agat i inbhuanaitheacht nó díreach fiosrach chun rud éigin nua a thriail, beidh a lán spreagtha go leor do chuairteoirí de gach aois.

Trí oíche, bain sult as atmaisféar socair fáilteach le DJ beo ag seinm meascán spreagúil de cheol Afraiceach agus ceol domhanda, ag cruthú an fhuaimchlár foirfe don taithí chultúrtha uathúil seo. Beidh socruithe éadroma ar fáil, ag tabhairt deis duit bualadh le dearthóirí, déantóirí agus baill de phobail éagsúla le Longfoirt.

Bí linn don oíche nach ndéanfaidh dearmad uirthi a cheiliúrann cruthaitheacht, éagsúlacht chultúrtha agus pobal. Tá Fíosraí na Cultúir ag tabhairt cuireadh do gach duine taithí a fháil ar shaibhreas faisin na hAfraice agus a fháil amach conas is féidir le healaín, cultúr agus inbhuanaitheacht daoine a thabhairt le chéile trí scéalta, stíl agus inspioráid roinnte.
