"My mind is occupied" - Bashar Murad

Bashar Murad was the main guest at Reykjavík Pride this year performing both at the opening ceremony as well as on the big stage in down town Reykjavík for the 100.000 guests that showed up for the celebration.He is a Palestinian pop star who has been making a name for himself in Europe and beyond. In this episode he tells me about his childhood and how it was growing up under an occupation. We delve into the topics of pinkwashing and talk music, art, queerness and how we can come together and make the world a better, safer place.Please follow bashar on instagram: basharmuradofficial---Bjarni Snæbjörnsson is the host in the podcast Mennska (meaning: humanity).www.bjarnisnae.com Instagram: bjarni.snaebjornssonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/bjarniactor Music: Axel Ingi ÁrnasonGraphic design: Emilía Ragnarsdóttir
