Months after the ignition of Jina revolts, we gather on International Women’s Day to echo voices of Iranian women prisoners.

This irreversible historic and feminist moment owes a lot to these women’s resistances and actions. Captivated inside brutal prisons in Iran under insulting conditions, their free souls and minds will not, and shall not, remain captive. We gather to collectively read and reflect on their letters, words, narratives; to remind ourselves of the beauty of solidarity; to collectively practice it, and to learn from their resistant voices. 

We write, we recite, we watch, we chant, we echo. 

✦ 15.00–20.30 (Drop-In): Collective making of window installation
