“Elefteria” Our comrade Elefteria Hambi (Eva Maria Steiger) became a vanguard of young women, ecological activists and anti-fascists of her century. Starting her struggle against the exploitation and destruction of nature in Northern Europe, she continued fighting the powers of death, the so-called Islamic State, which was fueled by the same capitalists powers that destroy the nature of this planet. To become a power life, of hope and a brighter future, she went to the free mountains of Kurdistan and became a militant of a democratic modernity.
As manifold as her personality and struggle was, as diverse and colorful also is her remembrance and the way she paved for those who continue her struggle. She is a comrade that connected the different lines of resistance in her personality – ecological resistance, women’s liberation and the fight against fascism and colonialism and is therefore an example of a holistic revolutionary. To remember Şehîd Elefteria, internationalist activists and young singers and artists created a song that is carrying her name.
Young Internationalist Women, the Internationalist Commune, the Culture&Art Center of Dêrik, the cultural women’s movement Hilala Zêrîn and Orkêş Studio came together and tried to express their feelings and connection to their comrade with this work
