After having lived in the Netherlands for over 20 years, my parents, Gulzar and Shwan, decided to move back to Kurdistan. Escaping the Iraqi regime as refugees in the early 90s, Iraqi Kurdistan has recently developed into a regional safe-haven. However, with current tensions around the threat of the Islamic State (IS), the social and political landscape is changing drastically. In Haraka Baraka, I follow my parents’ return to their homeland whilst addressing notions of belonging, transnationalism, temporality, and (re)imagining future horizons. Exploring diaspora and migration dynamics, this film project is as much about the reshaping of normative frameworks as it is about my parents’ relationship, which I approach in a self-reflexive manner. In juxtaposing archival material with new senses of self-perception, Haraka Baraka aims to offer an insight into their lives, and the frictions that play out as they return back to Iraqi Kurdistan. More importantly, it shows the intricate ways in which imagined futures are constructed through language and inform the (re) negotiation of social life upon return to their homeland.

Description
In the context of strict censorship by the government of the then dictator of Yemen Ali Abdullah Saleh, this film explores how ancient traditions of poetry, sometimes set to music and recorded on audio cassettes, were used as a means to circulate ideas about social and political problems related to the fractured relationship between the north and south of the country that it was not possible to discuss through the press.
