In this episode Dana talks about her past experience working in humanitarian sectors and how she decided to become a full time artist. We dive in deep about her upbringing outside of her native land and how she utilizes her art as a tool to communicate these social political issues that explore indigenous identities and challenge colonial narratives.Having grown up surrounded by female artisans, Dana's work is rich in texture and detail and makes an ode to her Palestinian heritage, keeping these voices and identities strong and alive. #FreePalestine

    Working out of her home studio between India and Spain, Rithika Merchant produces the most fantastical paintings which incorporate creatures and botanical elements inspired by myths and epics across geography. Rithika talks about making lifestyle choices to support her career and dream, the importance of putting your work out into the world, not knowing who might see it and approach you (you will know more about this in our chat), not being afraid of rejection, and of course her art process.

    Lena Kassicieh is a Palestinian-American multi disciplinary artist and maker. She talks about growing up in a family of doctors and medical professionals, beauty school dreams, and letting her innate curiosity and attraction to whimsical and ironic everyday life observations pour into her creative process . We follow Lena’s journey from New Mexico to Amman and then to Dubai and learn about her experiences in the art world which empowered her to realize, accept, and validate herself as an artist. It was such a pleaser to speak with Lena about her art process, thought process, and creative living.
