Şeva Henarî — Pomegranate Night

Since ancient times, Şevçile — the longest night of the year — has been a night of gathering and togetherness in Kurdish life. Families gathered around one another, elders told stories, children listened, and tables were bright with pomegranates and fruit. Those nights were more than a way through the winter dark; they were a bridge between generations, carrying memories, traditions and love from one generation to the next.

Şeva Henarî (Pomegranate Night) brings that warmth and beauty back to life — here, far from the homeland. It is a night of togetherness and love; a night to warm the bonds between generations, so that our elders can share their memories and our children and young people come to know their roots.

Embraced by Kurdish music, halparke dance and our authentic traditions, the pomegranate becomes the symbol of this night: a fruit that keeps hundreds of red seeds within a single skin. Just like us — wherever in the world we are, our hearts gather in one home.

Come with your family and friends, and let us turn a long winter night into a night full of warmth, laughter and beautiful memories.
