鈥淚t鈥檚 exciting to be organizing the 10th Year anniversary of Culture Days,鈥� said Culture Days Event Coordinator Trophy Ewila.

鈥淭hrough the lens of art, we reflect on our culture, seeking to understand who we really are both as individuals and as a collective. With that, I believe, comes the path to creating a better environment for our well-being.鈥�

This year is extra special, as the will be the first-ever Culture Days with a particular theme, 鈥淎 Signature in Time.鈥�

鈥淭he 2019 theme is a reminder that the things we do every day contribute to making this city alive. It is a tribute to living life through time, space and within all its forms and shapes,鈥� said Ewila.

鈥淲e all live together in this theatre of life enacting the story of 琉璃神社. Art is the vessel that gives form to our culture. It mirrors our doings, captures our moments and weaves them into the fabric of time.鈥�

鈥淚t is, therefore, through the celebration of the arts, that we take a moment to seek, understand and appreciate the narratives we have created and are continuing to create by simply being,鈥� said Ewila.

Everyone is invited to get hands-on and behind-the-scenes to highlight the importance of arts and culture in our communities through a variety of free events and performances.

The Schedule of Events is available online at . The festival is for all ages and is inclusive to all. All Culture Days events and activities are free/by donation.
