The photography exhibition, titled "Woman, Life, Freedom," builds upon the revolutionary slogan in Iran. A follow-up to the earlier exhibit "Jin, jiyan, azadî", it delves into the lives and societal contributions of Kurdish women. Departing from typical portrayals of Kurdish women as war victims or fighters, this showcase offers a diverse perspective.
