The TUTAKA Festival of the Awakened 2021

The 2021 TUTAKA Festival of the Awakened was a chance to honor and commemorate the anniversary of the outbreak of the Belarusian social revolution, during which the hands of the murderous regime repeatedly stained themselves with Belarusian blood. But on the other hand, it was also the anniversary of the formation of a great nation. At a time when many of us doubted such a possibility at all, 2020 turned out to be a nation-building event that has already become "unstoppable."

The TUTAKA festival is not just about music. In addition to the musicians of the Belarusian revolution, we showcase Belarusian culture and art in its entirety.

In agreement with the Belarusian Cultural Council, the Festival was the "grande finale/postscript" of the "Belarusian Cultural Week." The Festival of all free Belarusians was an expression of our solidarity with Brothers and Sisters who remain in Belarus and are still counting on our support and solidarity.
