We had a great conversation with the one and only Sozan Fahmi! We talked about her recently winning an award from High Council of  Women Affairs, her work at Khalsa Aid which is an international NGO with the aim to provide humanitarian aid in disaster areas and conflict zones. We talk about the importance of mentorships, volunteering, and women supporting and uplifting each other.  We also talked about marriage , dating , stereotypes and certain traditions that we deal with that aren’t very helpful.

We hope to have Sozan back on the podcast soon to record a conversation in Kurdish!

We had the pleasure of talking to Azad Kurd on the Newave Podcast this week. We discussed Turkish assimilation, nationalism and colorism. Azad was kind enough to share some personal anecdotes from his upbringing with us to help demonstrate how deep and long the thread of systematic racism/assimilation in Turkey is. We talk about the Kurdish language and so much more. Though we couldn’t get through it all… this was a good primer/brief summary for future conversations we plan to have with Azad on the Newave!

Nuveen Barwari and Huner Emin  interview artist Walid Siti on the Newave Podcast. Walid Siti takes them through his journey from Duhok, to Baghdad, to Ljubljana, to London. They talk about everything from drawing, mountains, displacement, the Duhok art scene, and the artists childhood.

Bio:

Walid Siti was born in 1954, in the city of Duhok, in Iraqi-Kurdistan. After graduating in 1976 from the Institute of Fine arts in Baghdad, Siti left Iraq to continue his arts education in Ljubljana, Slovenia before seeking political asylum in 1984 in the United Kingdom where he lives and works. Formerly trained in printmaking, Siti works extensively in a variety of mediums including video, installation, 3D works, work on paper and painting. His works traverse a complex terrain of memory and loss, while at the same time offering an acute insight into a world, which for him has been a place of constant change. The narrative of Siti’s experience, of a life lived far from but still deeply emotionally connected to the place of one’s birth, is one he shares with many exiles; he takes inspiration from the cultural heritage of his native land that is crisscrossed with militarized borders and waves of migration. The artist’s work considers the tensions between collective identity, interdependence and the constraints placed on the individual by themes of heritage, tradition, homes, borders, mobility and migration.
