SATURDAY 30/12 20:00 @ YIAX, LIMASSOL
Our art is part of the Struggles for Freedom and Equality.
The Kurdish freedom movement is a beacon of hope for movements around the world. The revolution in the Middle East, which became known as the Rojava, is based on women’s liberation and an ecological worldview. It unites different peoples and religions in a system without the violence of the state and capitalism. The Movement’s activists have spread all over the world, exiled and persecuted especially by the Turkish state, and spread the message of Freedom and Equality. Kenan Ayas is one of them.
After he was arrested by the Republic of Cyprus and handed over to the German state, the struggle for the liberation of the Kurdish fighter Kenan Ayas has been transferred for some months now to Hamburg. He has been in custody there since June, in a maximum security prison, facing terrorism charges. He is trying to prove that he was actually involved in a struggle to stop the genocide of the Kurdish people and for a free world and that his actions did not involve violence.
The legal process is ongoing and for the purposes of information and defense of Kenan, an observatory (kenanwatch.org) was set up.
The struggle needs help with the logistics of producing documentary shorts and a brochure, and for promotion purposes in Hamburg.
On 30/12 there is a rap night to support the struggle at YIAX in Limassol.
The needs of the economical support will be covered by the proceeds of the food and the contributions to the solidarity bench.
