HIGHLIGHTS
6TH STOCKHOLM WOMEN'S INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL - 8 MARCH 2024
#womanlifefreedom
After the 2023 special edition dedicated to Ukraine we decided to give space to those voices who are silenced and struggle to be heard. The 2024 Stockholm Women´s International Jazz Festival is dedicated to artists from Iran and Afghanistan. Female jazz musicians who represent all women voices of their original countries, who are now silenced by law and are fighting to be heard.
“Bridges” is the new section of the Festival that will close the evening, and is dedicated to a project between Swedish and international artists, in the spirit of building dialogues and connections.
The evening will be introduced by the Iranian ethnomusicologist and curator Yalda Yazdani, from The German University of Siegen. She will open the evening with a short talk and some videos from her movie project “Female voices of Iran” and “Female voices of Afghanistan”.
Semente Cultural Productions continues its aims to support not only the ones who are generally under-represented on stages, but now more than ever, those whose voices are silenced and whose culture is threatened (#womenforpeace).
