We were honored to interview Palestinian artist Sandra Watfa, whose work powerfully highlights themes of displacement, resilience, and Palestinian rights. Born in Lebanon to a family displaced during the Nakba, Sandra���s art captures the grief and strength of the Palestinian experience. Her evocative collection Nakba: Palestinians' Ongoing Dispossession combines art and poetry to tell these enduring stories. In this episode, we feature some of Sandra’s impactful work and a moving recording she wrote in November 2023, reflecting on the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
