Dr Myriam François: Art and Discomfort in Palestinian Solidarity (Part 1)

In the Season 6 finale of The Art Persists Podcast, we sit down with journalist, filmmaker and writer, Dr Myriam François.

We chat to Myriam about how she is dealing with the state of the world today amid Israel's bombardment of Gaza. She questions society's moral boundaries, emphasising the need for discomfort in addressing the conflict. We go on to explore the artist's role in solidarity and resistance. Myriam delves into her film, Finding Alaa, illustrating how grief can unite people across divides. We unpack her background and talk about the racism she faced after converting to Islam as a young woman.
