Join ECR, City Kurds, and Feminists For Jina for a hybrid teach-in about Kurdish Newroz, the cultural celebration of Spring, which has become a celebration of resistance against colonialism through the Kurdish Freedom Movement. Starting in the 1990s, women took a center stage in Newroz celebrations, where the chant "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" (Women, Life, Freedom), which became the motto of the women's uprising in Iran last year, was first introduced.
The event will take place both via Zoom and in-person at the CUNY Graduate Center (Room 6112), in New York City. For those attending in-person, join us immediately after the meeting for an ECR social!
