A year of work has been done for the Kurdistan Women's Voice Festival and after selecting eight women artists, preparations for the festival have begun.
Due to the situation in Kurdistan, artists from the West and South cannot have live concerts in Berlin. Instead, their video concerts for the festival will be shown in cinemas.
