from Come Along! · host Sharon Lin
Today, we will continue our chat with the powerful, wonderful, Palestinian artist Samia Halaby, who was here in Taipei for the 2023 Taipei Biennial. At the end of the previous episode, we touched on the Nakba in 1948. Today we will follow Samia’s memories of the effects of the Nakba on Palestinians, and more. In this episode we will talk about Samia’s documentary drawings of the 1956 Kafr Qasim massacre, and her olive trees series in light of the long term oppression on Palestinians by the state of Israel, and the current situation in Gaza, and her kinetic paintings using computer programing, her beautiful insights on being an optimist, and so much more. I choked up many times during this conversation. This is a rich interview and there are also videos of this conversation on RTI's YouTube and Instagram @rtienglish. Make sure to check them out. If you’re in Taiwan, do not miss out on the 2023 Taipei Biennial. It’ll be on till March 24 of 2024. It's brilliant! See you there! Samia, thank you again.
