X-Change from GOAL NextGen explores themes of global citizenship in a changing world. In this season, host Katja Mia chats with young artists, activists and changemakers on the theme of ‘belonging’. Through a series of curated questions, we will explore the food, art, stories, culture, and the challenges facing the places they call home.

This episode's guest is Tuqa Al-Sarraj. Born in Palestine, Tuqa is a Dublin-based multidisciplinary artist who studied Fine Art Media at NCAD. She is currently based at FLUX Studios and her work navigates themes of memory, loss, and exile through social dialogues and personal conversations.
