Nour Shantout

I am using this feminist strategy like many generations did before me in an ongoing protest against the occupation in Palestine.

I stitched some flowers that women stitched on their dresses next to the Palestinian flag when they were not allowed to raise it in the first Intifada in 1987, together with a slogan ‘ژن، ژیان، ئازادی’ (woman, Life, freedom) which is chanted globally in solidarity with Iranian woman, and we should not forget that it was coined by our Kurdish sisters in the early 2000’s.

Our struggles are intertwined, solidarity is the practice of unravelling the colonial unknowing, and our liberation only comes from this realisation
