HTMLLES Festival — Sineh-be-sineh: Reimagining Oral Traditions

Workshop by Naghmeh Sharifi, in collaboration with Ada X.
Sunday, May 24, 2026, from 1 to 5 PM.


Sineh-be-Sineh: Reimagining Oral Traditions is a hands-on, bilingual workshop in which Naghmeh Sharifi invites participants to explore how memory, oral storytelling, and cultural heritage can be preserved and reimagined through accessible digital tools.

The workshop is rooted in Sharifi’s recent multimedia project Fading Fables (Zar-Afshun), a contemporary reworking of an Iranian folktale narrated by her late grandmother, and it reflects the artist’s ongoing interest in intergenerational knowledge, feminist practices, and slow, intentional making using digital tools.

In this workshop, Sharifi guides participants to recall, research, or reflect on a family folktale, myth, or story passed down through oral tradition—particularly those carried by elders.

Statement In Solidarity : articule

The articule team recently had a discussion about the active involvement of its center in terms of engagement in social justice. As a center that has a mandate to be constantly engaged, we want to share the various injustices affecting the multiple communities that make up our ecosystem. With this in mind, we have decided to create a living document where everyone can share links of support and action.
