Women Voices: Kurdish Sound Archive and Beyond
Cafè Oto, E8 3DL , [Venue Details]Historical Women’s Voices from Kurdistan.
The “Women Voices: Kurdish Sound Archive and Beyond” festival offers two immersive evenings at Cafe OTO dedicated to Kurdish sonic memory, archival storytelling, and live performance.
On July 17th, the focus is on rare historical recordings of women’s voices from across Kurdistan, with a panel discussion and sound exhibition led by Zeyneb Yas Salam and her team, followed by live performances that creatively reinterpret the traditional dengbêj style.
On July 18th, the spotlight shifts to contemporary Kurdish home archives from London, with a panel exploring diaspora sound culture and a collaborative live performance responding to these intimate recordings.
Each night blends archival listening, thoughtful dialogue, and innovative music-making, inviting audiences to experience the vibrancy and resilience of Kurdish women’s voices past and present. Exclusive Kurdish music merchandise will be available on both evenings.
