In this episode of the Bogan Intelligentsia Podcast, we welcome Omar Sakr, a Turkish-Lebanese Australian poet and author, for a raw and unflinching conversation. Omar shares how his Western Sydney upbringing, marked by poverty, violence, and racialisation, shaped his writing, including his latest work, The Nightmare Sequence, which responds to the Gaza genocide with all royalties supporting Palestinian charities. He critiques Israel’s actions, Australia’s political complicity, and the censorship stifling artists who dare to speak out. Omar’s call for collective resistance in the arts and his rage-fueled resolve make this a must-listen.
