FaraVaz Live and Personal

Join them for a night of music and storytelling with FaraVaz. FaraVaz is Iranian-born artist and activist blending alternative pop with oriental sounds to fight for women's and queer rights.

Faravaz Farvardin was born in 1990 in Tehran and discovered her passion for music at an early age. Her musical journey began in Iran, where solo singing by women was forbidden and societal acceptance for women's participation in music—even within their own families—was limited.
Faravaz became active as an underground singer since public performance was not an option. Instead, she used social media to share her music, an act that eventually led to her arrest—an event that profoundly changed her life.
After fleeing Iran, Faravaz had to restart her musical career and now lives in exile in Berlin. This experience has left an indelible mark on her music. With powerful, provocative lyrics in English and a unique blend of alternative pop and Oriental elements, she gives voice to her personal story and activism. She is passionately committed to human rights, especially for women and queer communities in the Middle East. As the founder of the non-profit organisation "The Right to Sing e.V." she fights to ensure that marginalised groups are heard.
