Jin, Jiyan, Azadi x Poetry of the Kurdish tradition

Monday, 2 January 2023 - 8:30am to 9:00am
GIRLS OF MANY LANDS by artist/activist Raz Xaidan: A multi-media collage consisting of textures, illustration, personal photography and archival text from 1929.

As the year approaches a close we visit the ongoing protests for freedom in Iran. In honour of the protests under the slogan of Jin, Jiyan, Azadi which is Kurdish for woman, life, freedom, we visit the realm of Kurdish poetry, central to Kurdish culture, life and resistance.  

We're joined by Kurdish/Celtic writer and dancer Leila Lois who shares some poetry and insights in honour of the protests in Iran that stem from the Kurdish struggle. In November she wrote an article for the Overland Journal on Kurdish women’s resistance in body and poetry.
