DIARFEST 🌙✨ is an artists collective based in Hamburg, cofounded by Hanadi Chawaf (artist) and Osama Horani (designer), working on arab style concerts and events, focusing on visual art concepts and installations alongside collective memory from the SWANA* culture to create a unique party atmosphere. SWANA = South West Asia North Africa.
Hanadi and Osama are based in Hamburg since +10 years, Germans with Syrian roots. Diarfest started with the intention of representing Arabic art and culture in Germany in a proper, modern, and friendly way. They create an international and SWANA community in Hamburg that is based on tolerance and acceptance. This project is queer-friendly, being built from scratch, and it is totally independent.
