Step into the shoes of an Afghan woman - a skilled gynecologist and polyglot - seeking asylum in Greece. This intimate miniseries follows her experiences navigating the labyrinthine asylum process: the initial detention, the years spent in a refugee camp that becomes increasingly closed off and restrictive, and the daily realities of waiting for a life-changing decision. Through her voice, Asylum explores themes of gender, xenophobia, and the human story behind the asylum process.

The Storytellers' Lab (@story.tellers.lab), housed in Habibi.Works’ geodesic dome (@habibi_dome) is a place where everyone is welcome to explore storytelling across various mediums. Expert-led workshops offer participatory learning and empower individuals to share their stories and advocate for their rights. So far, the Lab has hosted workshops in: songwriting and music production; creative writing; podcasting; stop-motion animation; photography; and filmmaking. The idea is simple: to offer a space and tools to learn, grow, and express oneself.
