MACFEST 2019 hosted my fellow artist Siddiqa Juma and myself to talk about our journey with art, our passion, struggle. Our message and process.

In my talk, I reveal my rituals when I write Quranic pieces. I touch on art being part of the identity. How art is an engaging and non-threatening tool to express our identity.

We also talk about the Wall erected by Israel and how the art turned that horrible act into a symbol of global support for the Palestinian cause. 

It was a nice Wed afternoon and I enjoyed having her with the team from Artistic Times over. We enjoyed a nice conversation and she was kind in the article she wrote about me.

I opened up and shared with Tala my passion for art and obsession with integration and always doing better on a personal and professional level.
