Being a wonder of nature, Bandirma Kus Cenneti's uniqueness and whole beauty was a significant starting point in shaping the exhibition. It brought nature-lover artists together to raise hopes and hold on to the life with the birds theme and come together with the healing power of art. The wish of all artists is to make the birds in minds apparent by taking a clue from the nature's beauties the birds which are on the trail of water with their tenacity and unbelievable instincts. Organized by Bandirma Municipality for years, this festival contributes in raising a sustainable awareness to keep this unique heritage of nature alive and to protect it.

It's important to remember those who we need to protect to make freedom sustainable; our water, our earth, our nature... The natural events we experience in the world are now different from seasonal effects... And just being aware is not enough. Birds are making us remember that we need to protect the water, the earth, our home, our earth... With the hope of shedding a light to the future on the free wings of birds…
