Affinity would like to invite ladies to Women of Cultures Dinner “Walking Together in Harmony”

Ahmet Keskin attended the Sydney Festival 2012 launch which was officially opened by the Premier of NSW The Hon Barry O’Farrell. Amongst the guest dignitaries who assisted in launching the Festival were the Minister for the Arts, Hon George Souris and Sydney City Mayor Clover Moore.

The attendees were from a broad cross section of society but the people from the arts and media industry were probably the most prominent. This year the festival looks like it will be held over 2 venues being the Sydney city area and Parramatta. 

One short film that was of interest was Radio Muezzin, which is a documentary theatre work that explores the changing role of muezzins – the men who call the city to prayer from the thousands of mosques across Egypt.  Four Egyptian muezzins from mosques in Cairo recount the rituals and practices that have given them such a distinct sense of purpose and spiritual identity.  The muezzins share their stories, their fervour and their differences in this multimedia insight into the complexities of contemporary Egypt. This will be screened at the Seymour Centre on January 16, 18-21.

Ahmet thanked the organisers for inviting him and wished them well with the festival.
