On the newest episode of the Radio Juxtapoz Podcast, we caught up with one of our great friends and favorite conceptual street artists, Addam Yekutieli (aka Know Hope). The California-born but Tel Aviv, Israel-raised has found a unique voice in the street art world, creating a poetic and politically strong body of work that has balanced everything from text-based work, street characters to muralism. From focusing on the conflicts of his homeland in not a literal way but delving into more complex themes of giving voice to the marginalized and overlooked moments in history, what was once work that spoke to Israel is more and more speaking to the world at large. 

We talked to Addam as he was wrapping us his month-long stay at the Bed-Stuy Art Residency in Brooklyn, where he will be hosting an open studio to show his new works on Monday, July 29. Addam talks about this particular time in NYC, his ongoing projects that span the globe and an upcoming project in Jerusalem that has him excited.
