The Journey of Kurdish Women to Berlin<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

A Research and Artistic Engagement Project<\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n\n

This project amplifies the voices of Kurdish female asylum seekers, exploring their migration journeys, struggles, and resilience. Through 10 in-depth interviews and storytelling sessions, we document their lived experiences, creating space for their narratives to be heard. Facilitated by Fatma \u00c7elik <\/a><\/strong>our researcher, these stories are further refined in a focus group discussion. Additionally, a theater workshop was conducted in the context of the project. Through the project the Kurdish language acted as a bridge\u2014connecting the Kurdish region with the diaspora in Germany, fostering dialogue and shared human experiences.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
