We are six young FLINTA*s who come from conflict-ridden areas and live as the second generation in the diaspora. We stand for the resistance in our home countries (Afghanistan, Kurdistan and Iran) and work against collective forgetting. We, as Javaneh, are like blossoming flowers that symbolize spring, because “Javaneh” means “bud”. Spring carries the power of change, revolution and a new beginning and our goal is to overcome the long metaphorical winter.
