Who is witnessing the hardest periods of history and who is making the story out of it? While girls were granted with the lovely gift of diaries, boys were given notebooks to study, to expand in their own thoughts for then sharing them with the world and participate in the global discourse of legitimate history. We think the time of thoughtful journals is up and in this project we are unlocking diaries as the most important and profound data collections on social and political disasters, we are micing up the stories that are private and sensitive that’s why they will be accessible in the symbolic password mode.

Diary method allows the participant to record it as it occurs (or at least closer to the moment that it occurs). When participants record their observations or perceptions in the moment, we learn something different about their experiences than might be gained from other methods.  Through this project we want to work with the personal documentation of this toughest period on planet Earth with those witnessing it in different problematic contexts.

We invite to participation artists, curators, musicians, art and social theorists from different countries who at one time or another have taken the brunt of instability, armed conflicts, occupation or colonial interventions and work with the relentless and ruthless ongoing social and political systems as abuse. Program set itself the task to speak about social injustice and suffering from imperialism and colonization. It will include various formats: audio, video, images and texts.

Here is the text of one of my pieces, Masculine Hanger and also I have attached a few photos, Textiles have played a major role in the interconnections of the social, cultural and economic life of Iraqi Kurdistan. From making clothes to weaving rugs, the production of textiles was mostly executed by invisible and often unpaid labour by women. For instance, for a specific men’s Kurdish expensive Kurdish costume called ‘Shall’, a significant period of time and production is needed in order to prepare the raw material (the animal hair) to weave a ‘Shall’ fabric. The final handprint and selling process, however, belongs to men, superseding the work of women. Reproducing a (300cm x 17cm) shall fabric out of my hair is to articulate the notion of unpaid labourers and mundane jobs of women through a local product.

Kani is a visual artist and performer of experimental sound with hair. Born and raised in Iraq, she currently lives and works in London.
Her works signify the relentless and ruthless ongoing social and political systems of abuse in Iraqi Kurdish society, representing and embodying the hidden specific societal issues through her hair and voice to challenge the stereotype. Her interest is around stories that have never been told or heard, and history that has never been recorded, translating and decoding these stories into art and using art as a tool for social critique is the method in her artistic practice with using investigating form to reveal the unrevealed side of the stories, therefore the listening process is a major part of her practice.
She employs human hair as the main material as a tool for the entanglement of many perspectives and politics and converges personal stories through it as a protest against this stigma that never disappears against a specific gender in that society. Producing work through photography, installation, video performance and sound. 

Since 2015, her works have been exhibited in galleries and institutions including the National Museum NOMUS in Gdansk, Poland(2021), (Babylon Cinema as Moviemento, Kreuzberg and FSK Kino) in Berlin, Middle East Institute, Washington
D.C(2019), V&A London, Manchester art gallery the UK, Institute of fine art Iraq, Reykjavik Art Museum in Iceland, woman made Gallery (WMG) Chicago.
Kani also holds an MA in [fine art] from Middlesex University, London, with the artist Sonia Boyce as her tutor. She is currently studying for a PhD in [fine art] at Manchester Metropolitan University.

While she has a wide range of solo activities and projects, Kasha is also a participant in the MAPSN performative group. In her works, Kasha often uses textile as a medium and a camouflage element. Her themes intersect with the subjective experience with the themes of death, autotherapy, and reflections on social issues.

February.
A new phrase "bystander effect", to remember what doomscrolling is. Drink so that you don't wake up already. The phone is cracking from screenshots of what / to whom / from where / to where to take. I struggle with myself to start creating. It seems that the artist needs to cover the problems after he sublimates his own. All right.

April.

The sea is on fire.
I’m not a professional photographer but I tend to take a lot of pictures together with field recordings.
Mountains, insects, rivers, found objects, or else. The beauty of “nature”, the beauty and ugliness of human activities.
