Faisal Saleh Talks The Power of Art At The Palestine Museum US
We are telling the story of the people of Palestine through art and culture.
We not only showcase traditional art work but we also spotlight the cuisine, sewing and fabric art of the people of Palestine.
A huge honor to speak with Faisal Saleh from The Palestine Museum US to tell us the history of the museum, how they got started in Connecticut and their goals for the future.
We are trying to let visitors know about the lives of the Palestinians through the powerful visual medium of artwork as opposed to a constant political message.
When we watch the news we do not really have a chance to see the delicious food or folks just going on with the tasks of daily living. Here we have a chance to remember that these are individuals--cooking and going to school or work, making friends and relaxing at home.
This is a different and exciting take on the current situation and it is interesting to see the lives of individuals from the focus of the tasks of daily living.
Since the COVID outbreak the museum has created a large and successful presence on-line.
There are new presentations every week.
Thank you, Faisal Saleh, for taking time out of your very busy day to tell The Ronnie Republic Radio Round-Up about your enterprise.
All of our lives will be enriched with this new knowledge.
