Stories from Palestine

The many stories behind the art work of Palestinian artist Ayed Arafah


Listen Later

The reason why I really like Ayed's art work, is that I KNOW there is a STORY behind each painting, installation or sculpture. The story is usually two fold. It teaches you something about the Palestinian society and the times we live in, but it is also a window to Ayed's soul. Even for Ayed himself his art work helps him to discover who he really is and who he wants to be within the context of the Palestinian society and the reality of life under military occupation.

Ayed grew up in Deheisheh refugee camp in Bethlehem. We talk about how this shaped him as a person and as an artist. For this interview we spent some time in his studio, we walked to nearby Singer Cafe to see the exhibition he worked on during Covid-19 quarantine and we finished our talk in the concert room of Al Jisser bar where he has a very interesting installation at the moment. Join us for this audio ART WALK through Beit Sahour.
