Remembering Dania Zafar

Dania was a close friend to us all. She was a talented multidisciplinary artist with a big heart and infectious carefree energy. We are endlessly grateful for the time we spent with Dania, who made the lives of everyone around her better, while carving out her own path as a newcomer in a foreign city. Her expertise in book making, graphic design and baking had the rest of us in awe, and she was passionate about films, sci-fi, and painting, to name a few.
We are also grateful for having grown with Dania as RISE C9 Ambassadors, who was the team’s incredibly warm and supportive bundle of joy. We will always remember how her eagerness to genuinely connect with others transformed C9 from a team to a close-knit community. Her loss is immeasurable and has left us greatly shaken. We hope to honor Dania through the continuing community work of Weaving Threads (the original C9 project) and will forever carry her spirit fondly in our hearts.
