Concert: FarAvaz

A concert by Iranian singer and activist FarAvaz, with music inspired by the Women Life Freedom movement.

Facing prison in her home country for her art and activism, Iranian-born singer and performer FarAvaz was forced to seek asylum in Germany. Inspired by the global zan zayan azadi / women life freedom movement in solidarity with the women of Iran and Kurdistan, music is an act of resistance and liberation for this singer.

In her work she channels love of music, rage against patriarchy and oppression and her passion for pop, chanson, and classical Iranian singing. It is a powerful ode to the strength and resilience of women who have risen up against the shackles of oppression.

Channeling the collective frustration of Iranian women after years of daily humiliation, Faravaz hopes her music will be a catalyst for change in her homeland.
