From 5 to 7 June, the “Force of Love” festival, organised by
NARGIS Magazine, took place at the Space____________13 art venue.
The large-scale event brought together creativity, craftsmanship,
and meaningful social interaction. The festival aimed to create a
space where families, children, and friends could come together,
enjoy memorable experiences, and spend quality time with one
another.
Over the course of three days, residents and visitors of the
capital alike were able to purchase jewellery, home decor items,
books, clothing, bags, and much more, while also enjoying a variety
of food and beverages.
The festival also offered a rich programme of creative,
educational, and entertainment activities. Guests had the
opportunity to learn bachata together with Ulviyya Mahmud, the
Editor-in-Chief of NARGIS Magazine, and dancer Farid Mehdiyev, as
well as participate in master classes on painting, abstract art,
ceramic and canvas painting, scrapbooking, robotics, carpet
weaving, stencil painting, and culinary arts. In addition, guests
enjoyed culinary delights from Project Flat, games by Game Buzz,
books by Bahram Bagirzade, traditional henna art, and vibrant face
art for both children and adults.
The first day of the festival was dedicated to children. In
collaboration with Nargis Fund, a special entertainment programme
was organised for the residents of Children’s Home No. 1 in
celebration of International Children’s Day. Young guests enjoyed a
puppet show, participated in creative master classes, received
gifts, and enjoyed festive treats.
On 6 June, a tree-planting initiative took place – an important
environmental action symbolising care for future generations and
harmonious coexistence with nature. Ulviyya Mahmud, the
Editor-in-Chief of NARGIS Magazine, led the initiative.
On June 7, a special screening of an animated film for children
was organised in partnership with CineMastercard. The film
generated great interest among the young guests, giving them
unforgettable memories, lots of smiles, and a cheerful mood.
As part of the festival, the Centre for the Development of
Cultural and Creative Industries (Yaradıcı Mərkəz) under the
Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Azerbaijan, which supported
the event, organised a series of master classes, board games, and
themed workshops. In addition, guests could explore emerging local
brands presented by the Centre.
Baku City Circuit was also among the event’s partners, and its
support played an important role in this event.
Throughout the festival, complimentary BakuBus shuttles were
available for guests’ convenience.
Thank you to everyone who shared these three wonderful days with
us and filled them with a special atmosphere of warmth, joy, and
inspiration. We look forward to seeing you again!
