On the occasion of its start-of-the-Academic-Year gathering, EASt organizes the screening of "Nikah", by Mukaddas Mijit and Bastien Ehouzan. Mukaddas Mijit will be present for a Q&A and a drink will take place then.

It is 2017 in the Uyghur Region. Dilber, a 27 year-old single woman, faces increasing pressures to get married. Every day she video calls with her friend Gulnur in Paris, who offers her a solution.

This medium-length film reflects on the challenges that Uyghur women face from both traditional social mores and the highly oppressive political environment in China. The film screening will be followed by a Q&A.

Mukaddas Mijit (EASt) is an ethnomusicologist, a filmmaker, an artist and postdoctoral fellow at the Université libre de Bruxelles. She is also Scholar on Uyghur artistic reaction in the diaspora after the Human rights crisis in the Uyghur region.
