Our team has curated an exclusive collection of contemporary Crimean Tatar art and artifacts from prominent Crimean Tatar public figures that were individually selected and delivered to us from Kyiv just for this event.
Part III
Exclusive screening of the documentary film “1944” by Fatima Osman.
Community conversation with special guests.
The documentary film "1944" is telling the stories of three people who survived deportation as children. The horrors of exile, separation from their families and deaths were imprinted in the children's memories causing unimaginable pain to this day. This is a story of love, friendship and resilience in the face of unimaginable suffering that Crimean Tatar people are enduring to this day.
