CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
http://femalepressure.tumblr.com/rojava <http://femalepressure.tumblr.com/rojava>


female:pressure is launching an awareness and solidarity campaign for the canton 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.

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!

Please submit your works via Internet Archive https://archive.org <https://archive.org/> or any other way which can be embedded and distributed online such as Soundcloud, Mixcloud, Tumblr, Vimeo, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter or others.

IMPORTANT: please tag everything with #femalepressure for #rojava #revolution #solidarity

Spread and share the cause.

Send an informal email with the link to your submission to: rojava at femalepressure.net <mailto:rojava at femalepressure.net>
This is how the submissions will be collected by a working team.

The final publication is planned for International Women’s Day on 8 March 2016. 
Deadline is 15th of January 2016.

female:pressure is looking for Kurdish musicians, sound curators and cultural organisers to collaborate.

Power, Gender & Rojava by Brick_Lane_Debates (Zeynep Kurban, Kurdish activist [18min-in])
‘a communal system to govern themselves, built a social contract on principles of gender equality, ecological society and a commune economy’ @RojWomen

'Equality' between women and men, and a part of why they joined was to develop and advance the perceptions about women in their culture—they can be strong and be leaders.
