Kurdish Home Archive
An underground, homegrown kurdish folk night.
The “Women's Voices: Kurdish Sound Archive and Beyond” festival offers two immersive evenings at Cafe OTO dedicated to Kurdish sonic memory, archival storytelling, and live performance. On July 17th, the focus is on rare historical recordings of women’s voices from across Kurdistan, with a panel discussion and sound exhibition led by Zeyneb Yas Salam, followed by live performances that reinterpret the traditional dengbêj style. On July 18th, the spotlight shifts to contemporary Kurdish home archives from London, with a panel exploring diaspora sound culture and a collaborative live performance responding to these intimate recordings. Each night blends archival listening, thoughtful dialogue, and innovative music-making. Exclusive Kurdish music merchandise will be available on both evenings.
