In the audience, members of US Consulate, other diplomatic missions. Peshmerga commanders and Ala Tayyeb, my brave wounded cameraman.

The opening organized by the Middle East Institute (@middleeastinst ) and co-hosted by Justice for Kurds will take place in Washington in their recently opened MEI Art Gallery, a non-commercial art space. . The temporary exhibition will run from December 6, 2019 to February 20, 2020 and will present nine different artists from Iraq, Syria and Turkey, who, through different art forms (photography, painting, video) share recurring themes such as exile, displacement, gender and memory and give a voice to the Kurds, to show the plurality and flourishing nature of their culture which has been violated and denied on many occasions.

The New York Kurdish Film and Cultural Festival @nykfcf is proud to announce the third annual New York Kurdish Film and Cultural Festival. @8ballcommunity is co-hosting the festival. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Nicolas Heras, a Middle East senior analyst, will deliver the opening talk. This year’s festival will introduce and celebrate the Rojava Revolution by with films Rojava Film Commune, discussions, musical and dance performance, and a mini-Kurdish bazaar to exhibit and sell Kurdish clothing. There will be fundraising for Heyva Sor a Kurdistane, the Kurdish Red Crescent, with contributions donated by American author and artist Janet Biehl (drawings) and Kurdish musician Dijwar Karaman (music CDs). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Rojava, the multiethnic Kurdish, Arab, and Assyrian region of North-East Syria, has become a testing ground for new ideas about municipal democracy, feminism, and environmental sustainability. The festival producers hope that the festival will inspire working class and marginalized communities in America to build unity with the Rojava Revolution and Kurdish resistance. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The three-day event is dedicated to Mazdek Ararat, a revolutionary filmmaker, instructor, and warrior from Kobane who was martyred on September 13, 2019, and buried the next day in the Martyrdom in Kobane. Ararat was a member of Rojava Film Commune. His film “Zarok” is the first film of the commune and will be screened on the festival’s opening night. Tickets are now available to purchase on Eventbrite.
