SUPPORT ME ON PATREON! https://www.patreon.com/ShaiDavidai Guest: Nitzan Mintz & Dede Bandaid In this episode of "Here I Am with Shai Davidai," Shai sits down with renowned Israeli street and gallery artists Nitzan Mintz and Dede, known for his iconic Band-Aid art. The conversation explores their creative journeys, the meaning behind Dede’s Band-Aid symbol, and how art became a tool for healing personal and collective trauma. Nitzan shares her story of turning poetry into public art as a way to process her own experiences, while Dede discusses the origins of his Band-Aid motif and its evolution from a personal symbol of PTSD recovery to a universal message of hope and connection. Together, they reflect on anonymity, artistic freedom, and the power of art to bring people together. This season is dedicated to Shai’s grandmother, Leah Davidai, who passed away earlier this year.
