On this edition of Musicians for Palestine Joseph Kamaru (KMRU) speaks on the sound of space. KMRU's music often incorporates soundscapes from cities around the world and in this exchange we hear about the layers of social, political and personal reflection that is involved in the musical process.

KMRU @kamarujoseph speaks about listening and space in relation to awareness and in this context outlines the importance of unlearning colonial narratives that attempt to normalize systemic oppression and injustice. In this light KMRU speaks about the decision to join Musicians for Palestine.

Stefan @spirodon Christoff recorded and edited this interview, all the music is by KMRU.

Leanne Betasamosake Simpson joins the Musicians for Palestine podcast on the 8th edition.

Leanne also speaks on overlapping solidarities between struggles for freedom across the world, from #BlackLivesMatter, to #LandBank, while speaking directly about engaging with the Musicians for Palestine project.

Listen to the reflections and words of artist Damon Davis on the 7th edition of the #MusiciansForPalestine podcast.

Damon speaks on the #BlackLivesMatter uprising in Ferguson, Missouri, in response to the police murder of Michael Brown. In 2015, Damon's work, All Hands On Deck, a participatory street art project projecting the hands of Black community members who participated in the uprising, resonated all around the world.

In this interview, Damon also speaks on creating music (heard in this podcast) and also many ongoing projects, including Filling In The Crack (2020), that has been described like this: "Through the use of concrete—emblematic of the hardness of Black life—Davis’ practice suggests that however resilient it may be, masculinity is not without kinks, vulnerability, and abrasion."

Damon is a signatory and supporter of the Musicians for Palestine initiative.
