Tamer Nafar

Make Art Not War

On the second episode of Make Art Not War, host Libby Lenkinski talks to Tamer Nafar, a pioneer in the Palestinian hip-hop scene and the leader of DAM.

Tamer discusses the push and pull that a Palestinian with an Israeli ID feels in the middle of the war, the fear that self-expression could lead to persecution, the lack of spaces to share art, and his newfound outlet for self-expression: writing oped articles.

Please enjoy this episode and, remember, art is subjective. We hope you will listen with an open mind, and share with your networks.
