			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>VENICE 7 JUNE – 22 NOVEMBER 2009</strong></p>
<p><strong>SALA SAN LEONARDO (CANNAREGIO, VENICE)</strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-682" title="striscia" src="http://www.planetk.org/http://www.planetk.org/wp-content/uploads/striscia.png" alt="striscia" width="698" height="55" /><br />
</strong></p>
<h4>Malva, Mire Hekan, Norrem Issan Hamdi, Bahar Maleki, Monireh Maleki, Hasan Huseyin Deveci (Malmime), Huseyin Isik, Ilter Rezan, Fehmi Balay, Rebwar Saeed, Azad Nanakeli, Baldin Ahmad, Walid Siti.</h4>
<p>PLANET Kurdistan is a laboratory of ideas and projects that has the aim to contribute to the discussion on the Kurdish cultural identity. It is a collective imagination process able to represent all of the complexities and diversities of this people and to encourage a shared future.</p>
<p>PLANET K is a virtual platform, through its web site www.planetk.org, and a physical place within the 53° International Art Exposition &#8211; Venice Biennale, staged in San Leonardo in Venice. With the contribution of the collective of architects, designers and graphics of Rebiennale, San Leonardo will be turned into a laboratory in which Kurdish artists &#8211; and thanks to an Open Call, all the people who would want to give their contribution &#8211; will meet, share opinions, and collectively build the necessary premises for the definition of a Kurdish cultural identity.<span id="more-686"></span><br />
The Venice Art Biennale is one of the most prestigious international arenas for contemporary art, a place in which relations between art and national representation meet in a complex and articulated way. Every country chooses which artists can best interpret its artistic progress, its open-mindedness and its aspirations. In this context, representing the art of a stateless nation is the presupposition of a self-determination process. Art not seen as spectacle, but as an inspiration towards an identification process.<br />
PLANET K aims to be above all a space for debate, comparison and production among the Kurdish artists, coming from all of the four countries in which the Kurdish people have been divided &#8211; Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey -, but also from the ‘fifth&#8217; part, that is represented by the exiles. The Kurdish Diaspora is indeed a reality of well over one million and three hundred thousand people only in Western Europe.<br />
In the two weeks before the opening of the Biennale, artists, philosophers, designers, sociologists, journalists etc. interested in the definition of this collective imagination process will debate about three fundamental issues, synthesis of the future potentials of the Kurdish people: Identity, Borders, Language.<br />
Identity The effort of the Kurdish intellectuals goes in the direction of an identity which reflects the experience of war, exile, forced migration, but which is also able to see beyond. An effort which starts from the denied identity (in particular in Turkey were the state represses systematically the Kurdish identity) and from the intimate identity lived by thousands of exiled Kurds, towards the claim of a lively identity. Identity as memory, dialogue, exchange.<br />
Borders Kurdistan is a region divided by borders rather than enclosed by them. A region separated in four different national realities whose borders are crossed every day by thousands of people escaping war, persecution and poverty. Borders are barriers, linguistic, cultural but also individual barriers met in the ‘host&#8217; countries, which are often inhospitable. Borders, as those that metaphorically are confining women into a position of second-class citizens.<br />
Language In the process of building Planet K we were actually communicating in seven languages: Sorani, Kurmanci, Turkish, Italian, English, French and German. Language is a form of resistance, especially in states like Turkey, where it is still a forbidden and persecuted language. Language is the vehicle of a new message for the future, it means being able to express its own ideas freely. It&#8217;s fundamental to manage to communicate your own past in order to being able to built a solid bases for your future, while making of diversities a richness rather than an unease legacy.<br />
The 53° International Art Exposition with its title Fare Mondi/Making Worlds inspires this process of belonging. Not the belonging to an official culture, a state culture, but an inclusive belonging, in constant definition, open to influences and possibilities for future development. PLANET K is much more than a national art exhibit, it is a shared space where our imagination, our aspirations and our ideas can live. It is a new planet.<br />
KURDISTAN Kurdistan never existed as a national political entity, despite the fact that the Sevres Treaty (1920) was taking into consideration the possibility of an independent Kurdistan, in the case that the majority of the people living in that territory requested it. The Treaty of Lausanne (1923) cancelled this hope and established the division of Kurdistan (region rich of oil, water and other natural resources) among the states of Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria. Over the years the Kurdish claim to a nation-state have been replaced by a search, often experimental, of new forms of autonomy. Over the last weeks the talks over a possible first peace conference to be held in the autonomous region of Iraqi Kurdistan are becoming more recurring. The aim would be to have around a table all of the parties involved in the conflict, which has its most violent expression in Turkey.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sarà un&#8217;estate ricca di eventi quella in programma su Planet Kurdistan. Si comincia a fine luglio con degli ospiti di eccezione. Dal 26 al 29 luglio, infatta, sbarcano su Planet K artisti e musicisti baschi. Il programma lo potete leggere qui accanto, cliccando sul logo appositamente disegnato dall&#8217;associazione Euskera che ha curato il programma.</p>
<p>A fine agosto invece attendiamo il coro dei bambini di Sur (municipalità di Diyarbakir-Kurdistan turco). Accompagnerà il coro il sindaco di Sur, Abdullah Demirbas da tempo impegnato tra le altre cose nella promozione della lingua kurda. Una attività la sua che gli è costata diversi processi e anche l&#8217;essere esautorato dal suo ruolo di sindaco. Ma alle scorse elezioni Demirbas è stato rieletto dai cittadini.</p>
<p>A settembre su Planet Kurdistan sbarcheranno invece il cinema e la letteratura. Due appuntamenti importanti di cui forniremo il programma dettagliato nei prossimi giorni.</p>
<p>A ottobre invece ci sarà una settimana organizzata dalle donne kurde che vivono in Europa e in Kurdistan. Concerti, dibattiti, film, readings e anche una sfilata di moda.</p>
<p>La prima settimana di novembre arriveranno a Venezia gli artisti del Mkm, il Centro Culturale della Mesopotamia.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Planet Kurdistan, azmûnxaneyek e ji bo dewlemendkirina nêrîn û projeyên derbarê çand û nasnameya Kurdî.<br />
Ev piroseseke ku nêrînên hevbeş,  ji bo kû bikaribê nunertiya hemû cûdahî û pirsgrêkên gelê Kurd bike. Planet Kurdistan, bibê bingeh ji bo pêşerojeke hevbeş.</p>
<p>PLANET K,  platformek e înternêtiye. Bi rêya malpera xwe ya fermî www.planetk.org xebatên xwe ji raya giştî re aşkire dike.  Her weha nawendek e di nav 53-pêşengeha nawneteweyi hunerî- Venice Biennale, li San Leonardo li Venice jî cîh digirin.<br />
Bi hevkarîya hevbeş a mîmaran, dizayneran û grafîkeran Rebiennale, San Leonardo dibe ezmûnxaneyek ku di nav de hunermendên kurd- û bi hevkarîya Open Call, hemû kesên ku dûxwazin alîkarî bikin- dikarin hevûdû bibînin û nêrînên xwe bi hevûdûre parve bikin. Ji bo plansaazîyeke hevbeş a nasnameyeke çanda kurdî weke bingeheke hevbeş ji xwe re bi afirînin.</p>
<p>Venice Art Biennale, yek ji platformeke herî bi prestîje  û saziyeke navnatewî ku ji bo hunera serdem, navendeke ku di nav da pêywendiya navbera huner û nunertîya neteweyi bi şêwazeke komplêx û bi awayekı berfireh digêhêjin hevûdu.  Her welatek dikare bi serê xwe hunermendên xwe yên herî baş hilbijêrin ku nûnertiya pêşketinên hunera welatê xwe bikin.  Di wê çarçovê de nunertiya hunera gelekî bêwelat, bi wateya proseseke xweserî ye. Divê huner ne wekî lîstokêk bê dîtin, belkî pêwîste kû weke îlhamek ji bo prosesa xwe nasandinê bêdîtin.Armanca PLANET K, giştina platformeke nû ye ji bo diyalog, danberhevî û berhemderanîn di nav hunermendên Kurd de ku li her çar parçeyên Kurdistanê dijîn, wek Iran, Iraq, Suriye, Tirkiye û herweha &#8220;beşa pêncemîn&#8221; ku kurdên diyasporayê nûnertî diki beşdarî bibin. Hejmara Kurdên diyasporayê ku li rojawayê Europayê dijîn, yekmîlyon û sêsed hezar in.Du hefteyan berîya ku Biennale bê vekirin, hunermend, fîlosof, dizayner, komelnas,  rojnamevan û hwd. hemû kesên ku daxwazîyek e wan heye, ji bo dariştina prosesa fikrên hevbeş, bi hev re dikarin gotûbêj li ser sê pirsên bingehî bikin ku sentêza potansîyelê pêşeroja gelê Kurd e: Nasname, sînor û ziman.</p>
<p><span id="more-454"></span></p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Nasname<br />
Hewildanên rewşenbîrên Kurd, ber bi nasnameyeke diçin ku bandora şer, penaberî û derkirina bi darê zorî li ser heye, û di heman demê da dikare wan jî derbaz bikin. Hewlên ku di nav nasnameyekî sergirtî da derdikevin pêş ( bi taybet li Tirkiyeyê ku dewlet bi awayekî sistêmatîk nasnameya Kurdî difetisîn in) û nasnameyeke germ ku bi hezaran Kurdên penaber his dikin, ber bi daxwaziyek ji bo nasnameyeke zîndî diçin. Nasname wekî biranîn, gotûbêj û bi hevûdu guhertin.</p>
<p>Sînor<br />
Kurdistan, herêmek e ku bi çend sînoran nehatiye dor girtin, hatiye dabeş kirin.<br />
Navçeyek e ku buye çar parçe û ji yek neteweyekê pêk tê kû her roj sînorên wê ji aliya hezaran kesên ji şer, bindestî û hejarî direvin û tên derbaz kirin. Ev sînor, fîzîkî, ziman an kulturî ne. Lê belê ev sînor dikarin bibin mirovî jî. Her wiha Sînor wisa dikin ku bênavber asta jinê dibe hevwelatîya dereceya dudu.</p>
<p>Ziman<br />
Li proseya damazrandina Planet K, em bi heft ziman û zaraveyên cuda, li gel hevdû diaxifin: Soranî, Kurmancî, Tirkî, Italî, Înglîzî, Fransewî û Elmanî. Ziman şêwazeke ku em weke amûrekî tekoşînê, bi taybet li welatên weke Tirkiye ku ziman hatîye qedexe kirin û fetisandin dibînîn. Ziman ji bo peyamên nû yên pêşerojê amûrek e (wasite). Ziman tê wateya ku hemû kes bikaribin nêrînên xwe bi şêwazekî azad bêjin. Ji bo bikaribe bingehekî baş ji pêşerojê re biafrîne gelêk girînge ku mirov bikaribe derbazîya xwe bêje. Di heman demê da nabe ku cudahbûna weke dîrokek e qirêj mirov lê binêre, divê weke dewlemendiyekê bên dîtin.</p>
<p>53-hemîn pêşengeha hunerî ya nawneteweyî, Fare Mondi/Making Worlds, îlhama (havin) prosesa bihevûdûre girêdanê ye. Ne girêdanek e bi kulturêke fermî hatîye damezrandin, ne kulturêke dewletî, bi awayekî girêdanêk e bi esasê beşdarbuna ku herdem tê guhertin û herdem ji bo wergirtina bandorên nû û îmkanan bo pêşxistina pêşerojê vekiriye. PLANET K, ne tenê pêşengeheke hunerî ya navneteweyî ye, lewra platformêkî hevbeş e, ji bo xeyal, hêvî û nêrîn têda bijîn. Gerdûneke nuye.</p>
<p>KURDISTAN:</p>
<p>Tu caran li Kurdistan ê yekbunek e siyasî ya netewî çênebûye. Heger ku piraniyên mirovan di Kurdistanê de dijîn, bixwazin peymana Sewr ê (1920) daye nîşandan kû derfetên Kurdistanek e serbixwe li herêmê heye. Peymana Lozan ê (1923) ev hêvîyên Kurdistaneke serbixwe kêm kir. Bi peymana Lozan ê dabeşkirina Kurdistanê ( nawçeyek pir bi neft, av û çavkaniyen dinên xwezayî) li navbera dewletên Tirkiye, Iran, Iraq u Suriye hate parve kirin. Bi demê re daxwaziya Kurdan ji bo dewleteke serbixwe hatiye guhertin û li şuna wê lêgerînek ji bo otonomî yê ku gelêk caran weke ceribandinekê pêşketiye/pêşdikeve. Di hefteyên derbaz buyî de, cara yekemîn, mijara konfransa aşitîyê li herêma otonomi ya Başûrê Kurdistanê, hate gotûbêj kirin. Tête gotin ku armanca konfransê ev e: Hemî aliyên ku girêdayî pirsa Kurdî ne, bi taybetî jî ku Kurd li Tirkiyeyê di asteke dijwar de dijîn bên ba hevûdû.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lunedì 18 maggio alle ore 12 si svolgerà presso la ex sala giunta della Provincia di Roma (secondo piano) via IV novembre, la conferenza stampa di presentazione di Planet Kurdistan, promosso da Marco Polo System.<br />
Planet Kurdistan fa parte del progetto Krossing, evento collaterale ufficiale della 53. Esposizione internazionale d&#8217;Arte-La Biennale di Venezia.<br />
Per la prima volta il Kurdistan è presente alla Biennale di Venezia.</p>
<p>Planet K vuole essere prima di tutto un terreno di confronto e produzione tra gli artisti provenienti dalle quattro nazioni in cui è stato diviso il popolo kurdo &#8211; Iraq, Iran, Siria e Turchia -, ma anche dalla &#8216;quinta&#8217; parte, più recente, in cui il popolo kurdo è stato costretto a vivere, quella rappresentata dall&#8217;esilio. La diaspora kurda infatti è una realtà di oltre 1milione e trecentomila persone soltanto nell&#8217;Europa occidentale.</p>
<p>Partecipano alla conferenza stampa:</p>
<p>Pietrangelo Pettenò, presidente Marco Polo System (promotore Krossing &#8211; Planet K)<br />
Azad Nanakeli, artista kurdo<br />
Carlo Pesaresi, Assessore alla cultura Provincia di Ancora, Ciscase<br />
Massimo De Grandi, Arci Venezia<br />
Fayik Yagizay, rappresentante europeo DTP, Partito della società democratica</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MEP Luisa Morgantini (Vice-President of the European Parliament), MEP Vittorio Agnoletto (Coordinator of the Friendship Group EP-Kurds) and Marco Polo System invite you to a press conference to present PLANET KURDISTAN, an official side event organised in the framework of the &#8220;53rd Biennale di Venezia &#8211; International Art Exhibition &#8220;Fare mondi &#8211; Making Worlds&#8221;. The press conference will take place on:</p>
<p>WEDNESDAY 1st April, at 16h00 / 4pm<br />
European Parliament Press Room &#8211; BRUSSELS<br />
(IT &#8211; FR &#8211; EN interpretation)</p>
<p>For the first time, Kurdistan will feature at the &#8220;Biennale di Venezia&#8221; (7th June &#8211; 22nd November, 2009), the well-known international art event, as a cultural entity.  This is an historic occasion for the Kurdish people, who live in the four different countries (Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria) between which their land has been divided, as well as the Kurdish diaspora (in Western Europe alone, there are some 1.5 million Kurds). The event attempts not just to present the works of participating artists but also to build a working environment in which the artists will have the opportunity to make a clear statement on the complexities of the Kurdish context and to reflect on elaborating a cultural identity for Kurdistan.  The event is being organised under the patronage of the Venice City Council and Province of Venice. Planet Kurdistan is the result of continuous exchanges between different realities, Kurdish and non-Kurdish, and has been jointly produced thanks to, among others, the efforts of former Kurdish MP, Leyla Zana.</p>
<p>Speakers:<br />
Bahman GHOBADI, Kurdish film director<br />
Pietrangelo PETTENÒ, Marco Polo System, President<br />
Ilter REZAN, Kurdish artist<br />
Burhan JAF, Kurdistan Regional Government&#8217;s representative<br />
Press contacts:<br />
Gianfranco Battistini, +32.475.646628 (European Parliament, GUE/NGL)<br />
or planetkurdistan@gmail.com or www.planetk.org  (from 1st April, 2009)</p>
