Palestinian artistic production is undeniably rich. Literary, cinematic, visual, dramatic, and musical masterpieces have allowed the world to preserve the Palestinian people, their history, their culture, and their struggle for liberation in the memory of humanity for nearly 80 years. For the past two years, this same humanity has witnessed an unprecedented escalation perpetrated by the Zionist occupier, live on our screens, with the aim of exterminating the Palestinians and reducing to ashes the existence of this people on the land that was stolen from them. It is also through the screens that we can see many voices rising up and expressing outrage, but above all, committing themselves to solidarity with the Palestinian people. Non-Palestinian artists have joined the movement and chosen to use their artistic platforms to resist, denounce, raise awareness, advocate, and show solidarity through music, film, writing, painting, photography and drawing, theater, and more. How are they engaging? How are they transforming narratives and inspiring the rest of the world through their art and engagement? What dreams do they have for a world where the Palestinian people are free and liberated? How has solidarity with the Palestinian people transformed their artistic work? We will attempt to answer these questions with our guests, whose commitment to human rights and the Palestinian cause appears essential to their artistic practice today.
