The Human Frame
My work, as an actor and human rights campaigner, sits at the crossroads of human rights and the arts, exploring how creativity can reveal the deeper truths of what it means to be human. Through The Human Frame, I bring together artists, activists, and thinkers to explore how performance can become a form of resistance, empathy, and change.

Under Taliban Rule: Homira May on Hazara Survival, Gender Apartheid and Global Accountability
In this powerful conversation, Łucja speaks with Homira May, a Hazara rights activist, about the ongoing persecution of Hazaras in Afghanistan and the escalating system of gender apartheid under Taliban rule.
Homira shares her personal journey from Afghanistan to the UK, the emotional and political realities of being a Hazara woman in exile, and why speaking out is both a responsibility and a form of resistance. Together, they explore:
- The historical and ongoing genocide of the Hazara people
- How Afghan women are facing systematic erasure under Taliban governance
- The psychological toll of activism and displacement
- Why documenting atrocities is essential for future justice processes
- What meaningful international action should look like — and how individuals can support it
Homira’s clarity, urgency, and humanity offer a rare window into one of the world’s most underreported crises, and a reminder that silence is complicity.
