Karmel Sabri is a socially engaged artist and organiser from Minneapolis, now based in Amsterdam. She creates environments which foster meaningful discussion and encourage community healing of collective colonial traumas.
For this one hour show special during Refugee Week, recorded in collaboration with Amsterdam's Echobox Radio, she takes us on a journey of celebration and its meaning to her through sounds, lyrics, and songs, in the context of Palestine.
