female:pressure has launched an awareness and solidarity campaign for the cantons of #Rojava (located in northern Syria), where women participate on all levels of decision making and building a new society from scratch, with built-in social, racial and ethnic justice, religious freedom, ecological principles and gender equality.

With a series of music, media and sound art to listen, dance and fight to, we would like to send our love and strength to these women and spread a positive message in support of their efforts.

Visual Art, Lore, by Simon Morse

Lyrics:

騎著快車  飄遠方 /Riding on a fast car, lost in a far away place
回望昨日的落莫 / looking back to the desolate of yesterday
懷念母親的笑窩 / I missed my mother's sweet smile
繼續上路   直到日落 / As I continued forward on this road until the sunset

日月星輝的亮光 / Under the sun, the moon and the shinning stars
照各地的夢也是一樣 / same are the dreams on every land that are shone
與你能高歌的那個地方 / A place where you and I can sing at the top of our voice
便是我心中的烏托邦 / is the utopia that reigns in my heart

Under the sun and the shining stars, 
same are the dreams on every land that are shone.
At gun point, where there is no where else to go
but to pursue and manifest the dream that you always have.
You, the lowest of the low rise up in the dark,
hanging by the flesh and the beating of your heart.
Seeing through this lens in your head,
utopia has a colour,
and the colour is love.

For Rojava_烏托邦

“A country can’t be free unless the women are free"

www.ctm-festival.de/festival2016/20…ressure_rojava

Women and men are equals in the kurdes democracy. Not like we think it is equal in Europe. The roots of this society are not based on the patriarcal system we live in, but a complete equality. An utopia which is in danger.

That’s why I support Rojava

We are calling for participation and submission of works. The work must be related and critically deal with the topic of #Rojava; otherwise there are no restrictions. Everybody is welcome!

The final publication is planned for International Women’s Day on 8 March 2016.

Inner March for Utopia

ROJAVA Tryptich made for the female:pressure / solidarity campaign for the canton of #Rojava.

The piece starts with a  dimmed drone in which the clicking sound of a thin stretched thread being pulled is repeated. Te drone slowly evolves in more grainy textures and far away voices.

The mid part is a sort of time laps episode in which flickering sounds and buzzing tones evoke the idea of 'another' space.

In the last part the cheering and shouting of children's voices blend with a   tuareg-like guitar melody.


ROJAVA Tryptich

Traverser sa manche

FR.
Il y a les chhhhh,
Xchhh', qui s'expriment difficilement
Puis des parois qui nous tunnels
des bruissements salissants

Un mot tente de s'extirper,
frotte frotte, 
glisse - l'anicroche - glisse
puis s'écorche,
s'écorche en corps

Puis finalement s'extirpe. 

Sortie - Fin - Début d'une autre manche - 

-----
EN.
Sleeve Crossing 

Do you hear these "shhhhhrrr" ,
Xchh ', difficult to articulate in your mouth 
A mouth as many walls, 
A mouth as many tunnels
dirty rustlings
A word attempts to extirpate
rubbing and rubbing,
sliding 
 - hitch - 
sliding
 - hitch -

skinned,
body flayed 
Then finally
Oozes out.


Exit - Ending - Beginning of another race -

awareness & solidarity with #Rojava powered by female:pressure
www.femalepressure.net/rojava.html
There are over 7000 women fighters on the border of Northern Syria. These women are collectively known as the YPJ or the Women's Protection Unit, an all-women unit. They are fighting on the front line against IS / Daesh. To build a new society in Rojava, they are forced to defend themselves. Until recently I was unaware of their existence.

Twist Her
you want to twist her
into what u had in mind
you want to twist her
but she won't bend for u anymore

couldn't shut her up if you tried
no one wants to question
the deepest reaches of society
it's too ingrained
people just want to survive
these days

they say hide yourself away
don't rock the boat

she doesn't follow
patriarchal prescriptions
she should be
burned at the stake
put in her place

you want to twist her
you want to twist her
put her in her place
we taste we twist
go our separate ways
we taste we twist
go our separate ways

Twist Her
