Suhad Khatib on Palestinian and Black Liberation, Writing Our Histories, and Storytelling with Art
from MigrAsians
Suhad Khatib (she/her) is an artist with Palestinian roots who was born in Oman and grew up in Jordan. She is a futurologist, creative director, filmmaker, and public speaker. I connected with Suhad on Instagram @suhadizms. Her art drew me in immediately, and her voice kept me listening. I have listened to various parts of this interview over and over because I am mesmerized by the way Suhad talks about the world, our futures, and hope. She talks about the Massacre of Lyd, the question of Palestine, the geopolitics of home, the connection between Palestinian and Black liberation, and, of course, her art. We actually recorded this episode before the murder of George Floyd, but Suhad has been an organizer for Palestine long before. And she talks about how her first visit to Palestine was deeply connected to Mike Brown's murder in Ferguson, MO, close to where she was living at the time.Suhad is thoughtful, genuine, and steadfast in her hope and activism.
