Moderated by Delal Aydin, with a welcome by Hişyar Özsoy. An evening of film, literature, visual art and music. Four artists whose work travels across the borders of Kurdistan and the diaspora present their work and speak about it: filmmaker Ahu Öztürk (Istanbul), writer and publisher Deniz Gündüz (Diyarbakır, Vate Publishing), visual artist Remzi Sever (Diyarbakır, Merkezkaç Art Collective) and singer and researcher Hêja Netirk (Hamburg). Where political speech is censored, criminalised or exhausted, images, stories and songs have carried Kurdish political imagination from one generation to the next. The evening asks what art holds that institutions cannot, and what it makes possible. Remzi Sever’s video installation and an installation by Helin Karabil are on view in The Fab throughout the day. Hêja Netirk closes the evening with a performance.
