Creating Under Siege

In a time when genocide takes many forms (from the bombing of Gaza to the slow erasure within the 1948 borders) what does it mean to create art? Do art and artists and intellectuals still have a role as cultural spaces continue to shrink? And how must culture itself evolve as times, needs, and realities change?

In this episode of Scene48, filmmaker Aida Kaadan speaks with professor Ayman Agbariya, educator, playwright, and academic, about the responsibility of art, the meaning of cultural action in times of erasure and violence, and the ever-shifting role of the intellectual.
