Between Life and Death
The aesthetics of resistance – In the middle of a newly discussed invasion against the revolution in Rojava, we want to address the issue of war. War is not only associated with life and death, but also with resistance, great emotions and the struggle for life. While the front is coloured with great resistances, there is the story of heroic friends who play a central and important role with their work. Today we are talking to internationalist women working in medical combat about the current threats against Rojava and what its like to work between life and death. In this episode, we discuss how Rojava is preparing for a new invasion.

What it’s Like to Live in a War Zone
In this episode we are talking about the reality of living in a region that is constantly confronted with war. Even though none of us has actively participated in war, living in north-eastern Syria involves being confronted with different war situations. Low-intensity war, warm war, special warfare and many other kinds of war. What this makes with us and the people we have met, is in the focus of our discussions.
Çay at the Women’s FrontThe world is talking about Rojava. Democratic confederalism, ecological lifestyle, feminism and more theoretical stuff. Besides all the theory, the question is: what is life really like in the revolution? What problems do we face on the journey for a free life? What are our difficulties in the midst of a revolutionary process? What do we learn from the young women and mothers who weave the change of society with their hands. Together we seek answers to these questions.
Paris – The City of MurderIn the heart of Europe, in the so called city of love, a feminicide against Kurdish revolutionaries happened for the second time. On Dec. 23rd 2022, three Kurdish friends have been shot in Paris and lost their lives. One of them was Evin, who has been a vanguard in the Kurdish women’s movement for decades. This massacre reminds everyone immediatly of the killing that happened exactly 10 years ago, also in Paris. At that time three women of the Kurdish women’s movement had been shot, who played a leading role in the women’s freedom struggle.
Who were these women and why were they targeted? What is the connection between these two murders? And who is responsible for the killings? These questions and more we discuss in this last episode of the third season on our podcast. Arjîn, a kurdish young women who is active in the women’s movement in Europe and Anja, who has known Evin personally, are answering all our questions!
