On 21 March, around 300 million people worldwide celebrate the spring festival of Nowruz (Persian), also known as Newroz (Kurdish), as a symbol of new beginnings, togetherness, joy, and a deep connection to nature. Anuscheh Amir-Khalili, founder of Flamingo e.V. and curator of the Open Space \u201cDara T\u00fby\u00ea \u2013 \u062f\u0631\u062e\u062a \u062a\u0648\u062a \u2013 The Mulberry Tree\u201d, leads a tour through the BERLIN GLOBAL exhibition, linking the festival to stories of resistance and solidarity.<\/p>\n

Amir-Khalili speaks about the transcultural garden \u201cHevr\u00een Xelef\u201d as a place of community and healing for displaced women in Berlin, where grief and hope, remembrance and renewal come together. She highlights the feminist revolution that took root in the Kurdish regions of north-eastern Syria (Rojava) in 2012 and, through the call \u201cJin Jiyan Azad\u00ee\u201d (Woman, Life, Freedom), laid the foundation for the Jina Revolution of 2022 in Iran. She also situates Nowruz\/Newroz within its political context: in Iran, people celebrate the festival with dancing and singing, even though both are forbidden there \u2013 an act of resistance that transcends religious boundaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn recent months, the Islamist regime has once again transformed a new wave of protests by peaceful civilians into a graveyard. Nowruz will be marked this year by the memory of those who have been brutally murdered in Iran\u201d, says Amir-Khalili.<\/em><\/p>\n

Finally, Amir-Khalili addresses structures of solidarity with displaced people in Berlin. The New Year festival offers everyone an opportunity to come together and build deeper connections.<\/p>\n

This event is connected to the Open Space \u201cDara T\u00fby\u00ea \u2013 \u062f\u0631\u062e\u062a \u062a\u0648\u062a \u2013 The Mulberry Tree<\/a>\u201d\u00a0in BERLIN GLOBAL.
\nOn the same day, the Humboldt Forum invites everyone to a full-day Nowruz Festival.<\/p>\n

About the format<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The tandem guided tour involves two people. An educator and a Berlin expert guide you through selected exhibition areas. The invited expert determines the subject matter. The experts bring their own varied professional and personal backgrounds into the conversation and may be, for example, a midwife, artist, small-scale entrepreneur, biologist, historian, archaeologist, psychologist, fire fighter or restorer. People who work as volunteers or have provided curatorial support in the exhibition are also invited to develop tours. This makes every tandem guided tour individual and unique.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
