Cultivating and nurturing resilient transnational networks dedicated to advancing equity, justice and transformation is an ever-evolving journey. 

Initiated amidst the pandemic to actively combat ongoing silencing and repression, Oyoun has persistently re-envisioned creative practices in response to these challenges, paving the way for radical change and an inclusive cultural paradigm. At the intersection of the body as a reflection of political expression and empowerment, Oyoun crafts anti-disciplinary initiatives to address the urgent need for safe(r) spaces for marginalised diaspora communities and illuminate their futures. Despite facing precarious conditions and the repression of democratic values, it is through the transformative power of community-building and the arts that resilience is fostered, guiding us toward collective healing and intersectional justice. 

We invite you to join us in exploring how grounding our work in lived experiences and artistic research as tools for social movement can weave together shared histories across diverse geographies, foster new connections, and a shared vision of solidarity and conviviality.
