Samen rouwen, samen helen
Samen rouwen, samen helen
17.05.26Iranian-Flemish artists come together to create a collective space for grief, beauty, and healing. An afternoon where we move, as one, toward greater humanity in impossible times.
This gathering seeks to create a space where sorrow no longer needs to be carried in silence, but can be heard, resonate, and soften. It is centred around the recent events in Iran. By looking to the past and seeing how our ancestors endured dark times, we keep the light of poetry and music alive in our hearts as beacons of hope.
Much is unfolding in Iran, but globally, too, darkness seems to be spreading. Through love and connection, we can navigate this period together. Literature and art are cornerstones of Persian culture. In poetry, in sound, and in the beauty of art, we find each other. In coming together, connection arises. In sharing emotions, healing can grow.
Music and poetry weave through this gathering: artistic expressions of collective mourning, remembrance, and peaceful resistance. Here, art becomes a voice where words fall short, a place where pain can be seen and shared.
This gathering also echoes the warm Iranian hospitality, deeply rooted in Persian culture: an invitation to stand side by side in times of loss and injustice. In connection, collective suffering becomes more bearable.
It will be a moment of reflection, love, music, and poetry. To mourn together. To remember together. To keep hope alive together.
Hope for humanity - carried by the healing power of art.
