An Uyghur cultural evening was held in Munich, Germany on 19 December 1998. It was organized by the Third World Friendship Association with the help from Marwayit Hapiz, an Uyghur artist living in Munich. Members of the above association including Germans, as well as those from African and Asian countries, and Uyghurs living in Munich attended the concert. Mr. Albrecht Goring, a lawyer and close friend of Uyghurs, gave a brief introduction of Uyghurs regarding their past and present situation. It was followed by the performances of Halisa, a brilliant Uyghur dancer and Zulpiye Zakir, a talented singer. While enjoying the concert, the audience also had a chance to sample Uyghur cousin. The concert helped the multi-national audience get acquainted with Uyghur culture and awakened their awareness of the present situation of Uyghurs.

Recently in Europe, especially in Germany, there have been several cultural events aimed to introduce Uyghur people and their culture. A dance troupe organized by the European East Turkistan Union had performed in several European cities. Marwayit Hapiz, a well-known Uyghur artist, opened her personal exhibition on the 6^th of November at the Dritte Welt Cafe.
