What a true honour to talk to Sliman Mansour, one of the most distinguished and renowned artists in Palestine.

In this conversation, Sliman discusses the profound impact of the ongoing conflict in Gaza on Palestinian art and identity. He reflects on the historical context of artistic expression as a means of asserting Palestinian existence amidst attempts at erasure. He also emphasizes the importance of narrative in both Israeli and Palestinian contexts, the role of aging in his artistic journey, and the significance of collective movements in art. He finally explores the themes of steadfastness and connection to the land, ultimately sharing his vision for his legacy as an artist and activist.
