The expressive power of art undoubtedly crosses boundaries, sharply and clearly!

This is the best artwork to celebrate the end of the holy dictator of Iran.

It's been over a week the world feels safer after the regressive Ayatollah has gone. However, still millions of Iranians and marginalized ethnics specially Kurds are waiting for a big change!

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the liberty in #Kobanê, where hundreds of lives were dedicated to freedom of #Rojava. My piece "Viyan" retells the resistance story of the Kurdish fighter #ViyanPeyman who lost her life in #Kobani.

Episode Four: The Mala Jin at the heart of the struggle - In our fourth episode, we travel back to Qamishlo and meet with women from the Mala Jin, a women’s center that is part restorative family justice center, part domestic violence shelter, and part revolutionary women’s organizing hub. As with everyone we have met so far, the women of the Mala Jin have thoughts to share about the new situation in Syria and what’s at stake for their ongoing struggle. We also meet Clara, an American who spent time in north-east Syria working with the women of the Mala Jin. #Rojava #Syria #DAANES afterthefallpod.libsyn.com

Very excited to see music from My Sunset-Land, Rojava album accompanying the five-episode mini series podcast "Women's revolution in North East Syria" Rojava, which is the result of the recent Syrian visit of a volunteer journalist, Virginia Li!

This long weekend, I had an opportunity to start my Ottawa visit by joining Pegey Roshnbiry Kurdy Ottawa to open an important discussion on the critical situation of Kurdish music I called it a “cultural invasion” of Kurdish music which is the consequence of the unconditional power of the centralism and nationalism culture purposefully assimilate the ancient music of the Kurds in Iran and Turkey.

"God Is Real", the latest cover image of the Charlie Hebdo magazine, is the best artistic expression in supporting the brave anti Mullahs' regime resisters in Iran after death of "the Butcher of Tehran."

It's an immense privilege to be on "Sound Symposium XXI" list to perform my Kurdish Kamanche recital in St John's Newfoundland in July; beyond there would be an incredible opportunity to collaborate with wonderful visitor artists in a 9-day professional music residency.
