Since 2022 the Arab Culture Festival has been part of Hamburg’s cultural calendar. What began as an idea at the Goldbekhaus has become an annual meeting place for music, dabke, calligraphy and literature.
The photos in this archive come from the 2022 and 2023 festivals and show performances at the Goldbekhaus and the University of Hamburg — from the first dabke circle to the final applause. The short video captures the atmosphere in the hall.
