In a continuously changing and shifting world, while watching endless destruction and violence on our screens – in these overwhelming times when personal and collective wounds intertwine to separate and polarize us, where do we stand? When our voices are incapable of expression and beauty is taken hostage to serve something other than itself, how do we find the strength to speak up?

The singers and cantadoras Golnar Shahyar and Rasha Nahas come together for the first time in a concert-meditation with old and new songs of protest and kindness.

Together with an ensemble of international musicians they dive into a circle, a ritual of connectedness, of radicality, sisterhood and transformation.

Around this concert premiere Outernational presents a Listening Session and more concerts: A solo concert with Derya Yıldırım and a Set with Electronic Artist Rojin Sharafi.

An Outernational Festival, curated by Elisa Erkelenz and funded by Hauptstadtkulturfonds and Allianz Foundation.
