Design Ezidi na Passarela Curda: Respeito ou Apropriação Cultural?

Quando uma estilista curda apresentou um vestido tradicional Ezidi na passarela em Milão, muitos aplaudiram o gesto como sinal de inclusão. Mas será que é realmente reconhecimento — ou apropriação? Para o Ezidi Times, a questão é mais profunda: por que os Ezidis precisam depender de outros para mostrar suas tradições, e o que significa quando sua herança é absorvida em uma narrativa curda mais ampla? Está em jogo não apenas a moda, mas a sobrevivência da identidade de um povo antigo.

Ezidisk design på kurdisk catwalk: Respekt eller kulturell appropriering?

När en kurdisk designer presenterade en traditionell ezidisk klänning på catwalken i Milano applåderade många gesten som ett tecken på inkludering. Men är det verkligen erkännande – eller appropriering? För Ezidi Times går frågan djupare: varför måste ezider förlita sig på andra för att visa sina traditioner, och vad betyder det när deras kulturarv absorberas in i en bredare kurdisk berättelse? Det som står på spel är inte bara mode, utan överlevnaden av ett uråldrigt folks identitet.

Kürt Podyumunda Ezidi Tasarımı: Saygı mı, Kültürel Özgürleşme mi?

Bir Kürt tasarımcı Milan podyumunda geleneksel bir Ezidi elbisesi sunduğunda, birçok kişi bunu kapsayıcılığın bir işareti olarak alkışladı. Peki bu gerçekten bir tanıma mı, yoksa sahiplenme mi? Ezidi Times için mesele daha derin: Ezidiler neden geleneklerini başkalarına göstermek zorunda kalıyor ve mirasları daha geniş bir Kürt anlatısına dahil edildiğinde ne anlama geliyor? Sadece moda değil, kadim bir halkın kimliğinin hayatta kalması söz konusu.

Ezidi Design on Kurdish Catwalk: Respect or Cultural Appropriation?

When a Kurdish designer presented a traditional Ezidi dress on the runway in Milan, many applauded the gesture as a sign of inclusion. But is it really recognition—or appropriation? For Ezidi Times, the question runs deeper: why must Ezidis rely on others to showcase their traditions, and what does it mean when their heritage is absorbed into a broader Kurdish narrative? At stake is not just fashion, but the survival of an ancient people’s identity.

Never Forget the Past, for It Loves to Remind You of Itself

Humanity walks through history carrying the ashes of its own crimes. Every stone laid at memorials like Tsitsernakaberd whispers of lives extinguished and of promises broken — never again, we say, yet again and again, we fail. As the eternal flame burns for the Armenians of 1915, it casts a shadow that reaches Sinjar, where the Ezidi people still suffer the consequences of the genocide ISIS unleashed in 2014. Eleven years later, the wounds remain unhealed, deepened by betrayal, neglect, and cynical politics. How many more memorials must we build before we finally understand that remembrance is not enough — justice and protection must follow, or the cycle will never end?

ISIS Victims Accept Christian Aid, Not Christian Conversion

The Ezidi people endured brutal attacks in 2014 when ISIS forcibly displaced them from their ancestral homeland in northern Iraq, killing and enslaving thousands. ISIS falsely accused the Ezidis—whose ancient religion, Sharfadin, has roots in Mesopotamia—of worshipping Satan. After the military defeat of ISIS, many Ezidis remained in United Nations camps for internally displaced persons, relying heavily on humanitarian assistance.
