Join the Newave as we have a cozy conversation with writer/filmmaker Beri Shalmashi! They talk about the importance of representation in the arts, making serious issues accessible for a western audience, depicting diaspora in her films, the struggles that Kurdish artists face when they choose a career path in the arts, her experience teaching film in Southern Kurdistan, Kurdish women in leadership roles, generational gaps, the need for more Kurdish actresses! We discussed her previous works and upcoming project Big Village in depth  and most importantly she encourages all creatives to be more weird! This episode is very dear to us because it felt like we were talking to our big sister. The advice she gave us was so important!

Join Nuveen Barwari and Pael Abdullah on the Newave Podcast as they talk to their guest Marlos E’van about the kind of art and artists that emerge during oppressive political times. They discuss the history and ideologies about the Black Panther Party that most schools in the Bible Belt fail to teach students. They explore the correlations and complexities between the Black Panther Party and the Kurdish resistance movement and how both have been victim to misrepresentation and false labels.  We will critically look at the art that has come out of both parties and discuss why and how the art and artists are so crucial to movements such as these!
