Yasminas Kurzfassung und Einleitung der Sendung Home is An Irrevocable Condition
Over the past few years, art and music as a tool of resistance has given our
community hope and a voice within liberation and international freedom
movements. In 2019, the BJP decided to revoke Kashmir’s special status,
giving the green light for a settler colonial project to continue its course. For
the very first time I witnessed a fight back by Kashmiri students in London,
and for the first time I met Kashmiris from the other side. My time for
intervention, as a socialist and Kashmiri in the diaspora, had come.
This program will focus around three cultural workers: Zeeshan Nabi, a
musician; Mariyeh Mushtaq, a digital artist and political organiser; and Ather
Zia, a professor and poet. The three artists are at the heart of creative
resistance and political advocacy, making transformative changes, beyond a
military occupation and colonisation. Through music and collective
interviews, each individual’s work resembles life under curfews and a
military occupation, a threat to the daily lives of Kashmiris. Art and culture
cultivated by history and resistance and colonised by an empire. Kashmir’s
freedom is irrefutable and an integral fight against imperialism, patriarchy
and settler colonialism, a fight for all liberation and freedoms.
