Festival of Culture

Every year, in Mauritius, an event called Porlwi ( Our capital city Port Louis is called Porlwi in creole) is celebrated. Last year`s theme was Portlwi By Light as you can see above.
This year, it's a Porlwi by Nature that will take root in the historic streets of our capital. The theme emphasizes urban regeneration and cultural reconnection with our land. It is an exploration, a desire to integrate Nature into the daily lives of our lives. Porlwi by Nature is a celebration of the very essence of life on Earth. Today in cities around the world, communities are coming together to rethink the city of tomorrow.
This year, the festival is conceived around three islands and two connectors, each integrating components of Porlwi's DNA - Street Light, Street Art, Street Music, Street Food, Performance and Open Ideas. Each island is linked to an incentive: Respirer(Breathing) , Resanti( To Feel) , and Rekonekte(Ties/Connection with people) . These three calls to action invite festival-goers to take the time to look around and soak up the energy of the city.
