Our Work

This project emerged as a response to the profound impact of the 2014 Ezidi genocide and the need to amplify the voices and experiences of the Ezidi community. This initiative aimed to create a platform that not only documented the historical atrocities but also empowered the community through art, storytelling, and the cultivation of a digital and physical archive.
