He also explains how he ended up learning khaleeji Arabic, his experience performing for royalty, and more. Check out his YouTube channel here!

This is part one of a two-part episode featuring three homo sapiens! During this portion, we (Nadia Khayrallah, Adam Elsayigh, and Alia) reflect on feelings pertaining to our art practice and where we are currently with that. We also discuss our thoughts related to the word “activist” and whether or not we claim the label for ourselves.
Credit goes to Nadia for the episode name!
