KRAKOW – In a historic moment for Kurdish art, a group of 14 Kurdish women artists showcased their work outside the Kurdistan Region for the first time. Titled Ego Sum (“I Am”), the exhibition opened earlier this month in Krakow, Poland, marking a significant milestone in the international presence of Kurdish women in the arts.
Among the participants was artist Shrivan Barani, whose works received high praise from attendees. Reflecting on the experience, Barani described it as deeply meaningful: “After five years, I found my place in Poland. This was a powerful experience for me—artistically and personally. Representing women in art is no easy task, especially when one understands their beauty and sacredness.”
The exhibition is seen as a breakthrough for Kurdish women artists, providing a global platform to share their perspectives and creative expressions.
