Karen Wrist Tying Ceremony

Join the Karen community in their traditional Wrist Tying ceremony, celebrated with songs, dance and food.

Karen people all around the world celebrate a Wrist Tying Festival in August called Lar Ko Kee Su, where the act of tying white thread around people’s wrists has come to symbolise the unity of Karen people. People who are not Karen are invited to join the Wrist Tying ceremony as a way to build unity between different nationalities.

Before the event starts we will unveil the new Karen welcome added to the library welcome wall located on our Mezzanine floor.

Main event in Events Central, Ground Floor.
