Project of; Nisren Abasher (SU), Jae-min Kim (KR), Danielle Davidson (NL)

A mutual relationship between the donkey and owner was the attempting of this day. This was happening in one place behind of El Deam street in which the environment transformed into a different atmosphere during the event. All the owners washed their donkey beforehand. Decorations were prepared for the donkeys with remnants of textile.

On this donkey day 14^th February 2007 from 12:00 to 14:00 the owners decorated their donkey. There was food for the donkeys and the people; it was a celebration. Owners were given the option to nominate the most beautiful donkey of the day. There was a first and a second place. What was important was that there was good co-operation with Ali, who worked with the donkeys in this place in El Deam. He communicated about the event with the donkey owners and helped them to prepare their donkey. A time of two hours was not a long time and this short time made all the thing absorbed.  The owners were very enthusiastic and the event grew and progressed by itself.
