My guest today is Hajar Chokairi, associate of ONORIENT, a mixed media website that highlights lesser known artists of all sorts from North Africa and the Middle East. Hajar and her co-founders started the project in 2013, and have since built out the platform to include cultural consultancy services as well. They write detailed articles, host podcasts, build playlists, curate exhibitions, screen their documentary, and much more with ONORIENT, all of which you can find at onorient.com. In this episode, Hajar and I discuss the complexities of running the media while she’s also employed as an innovation consultant, insights about feeling at home while far from home, reasons they started ONORIENT, how she sees it shape-shifting in the future, and more.
