Colours of Asia

Event time: 19:00-23:30

Not everyone can reach Jomolungma and feel the power of the high mountains — and even fewer can conquer Užupis Hill! But if you do, you’ll find yourself lost in a maze of Asian arts, with no easy way out. We’ll wander through swirls of Indian ornaments that dance across your hands, create Japanese kimekomi, exchange Asian souvenirs gathering dust at home, and, after dark, dive into the world of film!

Kimekomi

A traditional Japanese decorating technique using foam blanks and fabric scraps. You’ll leave the workshop with a beautiful toy imbued with your warmest and kindest thoughts.

Henna

Decorating the body with henna paste is an essential part of major celebrations across Central and South Asia. On Culture Night, you’ll have the opportunity to adorn yourself with intricate designs and discover more about this ancient art form.

Asian Swap Corner

Have any books about Asia gathering dust on your shelf? Or a Buddha statue from Japan looking for a new home? Bring your Asian-themed items — whether they come from Asia or are inspired by it — and swap them with others, or simply pass them along. Give your souvenirs, books, or treasures a second life at the Asian Swap Corner!
