A modern interpretation of the tragic tale of Mem û Zin, the third video in this series for the #themecollective. It has been such a pleasure collaborating with such magical creatives @arimurad and @imi_oztas 🔮🧿✨🙏🏽🦋🌼❤️💛💚⁣ ⁣ “Mem û Zin is a Kurdish love story written in the 17th century by Kurdish writer, poet, philosopher and astronomer, Ehmede Xani. This work is considered to be the épopée of Kurdish literature and is often referred to as “the Kurdish Romeo + Juliet”. What is significant about Mem û Zin is the fact that Xani chose to write it in his mother tongue Kurdish, rather than any other language that was more widely used in the region at the time. His decision to write in Kurdish was also a risky one, due to the Ottoman Empire’s systemic efforts to oppress religious, ethnic and linguistic minorities.” #MemûZin⁣ ⁣ Photo/Video @arimurad⁣ Makeup/Styling/Hair @imi_oztas⁣ Produced by @imi_oztas @arimmurad⁣ Model @Kowand + #Saz⁣ Jewelry by me 🧿⁣ Special thanks to @bavil.aa + @daniel.p.tanner⁣ https://www.instagram.com/p/CDM5yMDpeSP/?igshid=16uap0rmqge38
