Since 2008, Azari has been running poetry and performance workshops for participants globally. Azari’s passion lies in creating alternative spaces for learning and collaboration through the infusion of interactive learning, discussion, writing and performance. Her workshops cater to create intimate settings for discussing personal experiences and social inequalities through an intersectional framework. Leading workshops at middle schools, high schools, universities and organizations across the United States, Azari has witnessed empty rooms transform into thought-provoking spaces to debate, critically question, and challenge injustices. Holding a deep commitment to empathy being borderless, Azari has designed and led workshops globally in Morocco, India, France, Turkey, London and Indonesia.
While topics and workshop lengths vary based on institutions’ request, Azari is most renown for her Gender Curriculum that she has implemented at different NGOS and schools both nationally and internationally. Offered for multi-gendered audiences and single gender audiences, this particular 3 month series adopts an intersectional framework to explore gender injustices through activism, writing, and performance. Topics that are discussed in Azari’s gender curriculum include: race, class, intersectionality, gender/sex divide, globalization, coloniality, power, sexual harassment, violence, & sexuality among other topics.
