The Revolution of Rojava is also a Revolution of culture. If a society looses its culture it looses its identity. Culture expresses society’s values, history and language. To maintain the society alive it needs to represent and to express its own culture, that’s why one of the deepest attack of the system is the attack on culture.
The Rojava Revolution opened the way for a cultural renaissance of the people. Thousands of songs, poems and drawings, expressing the wishes and hopes of the people, have flourished since the start of the Revolution. The cultural expressions and developments made in Rojava became an inspiration for the whole Middle East and beyond.
Preserving and spreading the culture of the peoples that are resisting is a duty and responsibility of all artists all around the world. In every revolution and resistance art has always played a decisive role. In the resistance against Turkey’s attacks that aim to liquidate the Revolution of Rojava, this role is a task of all of us. We must create culture and art and make it the voice and colors of resistance.
For this, we call on every artist to create revolutionary art as graffiti, paintings, music, illustrated posters, sculpture etc.
