[S9E1] Refugee Art, Activism, and Mutual Support with Diala Brisly

Seeking Refuge

In today's episode, our hosts, Anusha and Claire discuss the art works of Diala Brisly. She is a Syrian artist who explores "themes about social justice, freedom for the Syrian people, and a desire in particular to give a voice to children, who are among the most voiceless and most vulnerable groups targeted in Syria’s current turmoil." She began her art career with a Syrian-based Spacetoon Channel in 2001, but has now developed her art by exploring different styles and themes. This episode will touch on her work advocating for Syrian children, her new focus on psychological issues and trauma in art, and her own personal experiences and their impact on her work.
