The Forward and Albi are so excited to invite to you listen to our new show, Make Art Not War.

Make Art Not War is a podcast that explores the power of creativity in the face of conflict. Hosted by Libby Lenkinski and produced by The Forward and Albi, this podcast features ten conversations with leading Jewish and Palestinian artists working in Israel.

Host Libby Lenkinski is the founding President of Albi and serves as Vice President for Public Engagement at the New Israel Fund, where she has led all aspects of NIF's public efforts in the United States for the last decade – including communications, digital, programs, events, leadership, community partnerships and engagement, New Generations, and fellowships.

In each episode, we delve into the lives and work of these artists, discussing how their art reflects and responds to the complex and often painful realities of the region. From painters and musicians to writers and filmmakers, these artists offer unique perspectives on the role of art in fostering understanding, healing, and social change.

As host Libby Lenkinski reminds us, art is subjective. While you may agree or disagree with the artists' viewpoints, we encourage you to listen with an open mind and appreciate the diversity of perspectives they bring to the table.

Join us as we explore the power of art to transcend divisions and inspire hope.
