SABCA to perform in the 2019 Multicultural Festival - 10 November 2019
The South Australian Bangladeshi Community Association (SABCA), the largest community group for Bangladeshis in South Australia will be attending the 2019 Multicultural Festival. The Festival is hosted by Multicultural Affairs, Department of the Premier and Cabinet, working with SA multicultural organisations whom have been successful in the “Come Together Multicultural Festival Grants Program 2019".
The Multicultural Festival will feature multiple performances, intercultural activities and stalls for community groups to showcase their cultural heritage through art, craft, food, dance, music and activities in a large-scale, positive and celebratory platform.
'SABCA has been granted access to the performance category for 30 minutes from 12.30pm to 1.00pm, meaning we will be interacting with the audience and also will have to ensure they participate with us during our performances’, said Mr. Mohammad Tarik, Chairperson of SABCA for 2019. Mr Tarik said these kinds of events will be a good way to expand and build upon interculturalism and social harmony in the community.
SABCA will show childrens' dance performances of Bangladeshi traditions highlighting the myriad varieties of microcultures that exist even in a country like Bangladesh and traditional Bangladeshi songs. ‘The audience will be in for a treat’, said Tarik, ‘as they will have to participate in the dance numbers with our performers. Our kids have been practicing for a month and we hope their performances will be remembered by the audience’.
