Procession of The Weeping Sisters
6.00pm Beginning at St George’s Square,
ending at the University of Huddersfield
A solemn procession of four large figures of weeping women, remembering Jewish, Bosnian, Kurdish and Roma genocides, accompanied by live music and song.
This year, the figures of a Roma Weeping Sister from Lublin and a Kurdish figure from Halabja will join the Jewish and Bosnian figures created last year by local groups.
The figures were made by Roma and Kurdish participants with friends and supporters, working with artists in Dewsbury and in Huddersfield.
Everyone is welcome to join the procession but please dress warmly.
