Sama' Abdulhadi - Every Artist Needs Resilience

Conference

Sama' Abdulhadi - Every Artist Needs Resilience

Speaker: Sama Abdulhadi (Artist)

Moderator:
Ruth Daniel (CEO & Artistic Director, In Place of War)

As many of you are already aware, being an artist is a tough career choice. But if you then add in the destruction of everything you hold dear, and everything that inspired you over the years, where does that leave you as a creative individual? How do you channel the emotions? Can music help in terms of dealing with the inherent stress of being uprooted and displaced? Sama Abdulhadi will be in conversation with Ruth Daniel to share what it's really like to try to make beauty in the midst of chaos.
