Palestinian stories and culture are  scattered around the globe in fragments that Palestinians try to hold onto. Ever since 1948 when Palestinians became dispossessed of their land, it is the art that remains, carried through diaspora. This is what the Palestine Museum US represents; the first Palestinian Museum established in the US, a cultural beacon that Palestinians around the world can be proud of.
This vision was brought to life by Faisal Saleh. Saleh was born into a refugee family of 11 kids and moved to the US on his own at just 17. He earned an MBA and opened a successful tech company. After 40 years of this work, he turned towards his most ambitious project. A museum set up by Palestinians for Palestinians around the world to showcase their art. 
In this episode, Saleh speaks deeply about the power of art and the potential it has to create powerful change in both the mind and heart.


*Correction: In the episode, the Palestine Museum US is described as the first in the Northern Hemisphere, meant to be first in the Western Hemisphere*
