korsi كُرسي
Collective creation with the essence of SWANA
Korsi is a community-rooted, artist-powered cultural collective that creates inclusive spaces for gathering, expression, and shared belonging. It began as intimate get-togethers and evolved into a platform to celebrate SWANA (South West Asia and North Africa) identities, artistic expression, and the warmth of collective presence. The name Korsi means “chair” in Arabic, but in Persian, it refers to a heated gathering space—symbolizing warmth, intimacy, and conversation. True to its name, Korsi invites people not just to attend—but to belong.
Upcoming Event:
A collective pause in the midst of crisis: this talk brings together voices from the Iranian diaspora to reflect on war, repression, and the emotional toll of ongoing uncertainty. Between personal grief and political discourse, the evening opens a space for complexity — for speaking, listening, and holding contradictions without reducing them. Held in German.
