DiDa 2023 Cultural festival is back!

DiDa - Disability Day Art & Action festival takes a backup start and invites you to celebrate the annual UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities (3 December). Free admission for all.

Surrounding by the coming winter weather, nature comes alive in the interpretations of disabled and sign language artists. Come and experience an international festival experience. Come and listen to or watch a musical spectrum, fierce poetry, tickling humour, silent but loud performance and feel the rhythms of dance. 

The programme includes among others Kaiunsäde, a musical expression of high quality, Noora Karjalainen's visual and physical Growth performance and Nilas Lindell's Nunatak - liikkellinen runo tiloista. 

The evening will culminate in the exciting Vimma Disability Culture Award ceremony.
