Join us as we unravel the stories behind the artwork, songs, and poetry that have played a crucial role in shaping perceptions, challenging systemic injustices, and advocating for change on the frontlines and beyond.

We also talk with surrealist blues poet, aja monet, about how she uses art to support Palestine.
