Raeda Taha | Lisan Alhal
A Palestinian actress, writer, and activist whose artistic, political, and personal journeys deeply intertwine, Raeda is the daughter of martyr Ali Taha, one of the fedayeen who carried out the Sabena Flight 571 operation on May 9, 1972, in an effort to liberate Palestinian prisoners from the jails of the Zionist entity. Her life and work reflect the intersections of memory, resistance, and storytelling. She is the third guest on the Lisān al-Hāl podcast.
Hamed Sinno | Lisan Alhal
A voice that redefines the possibilities of performance and music, Hamed’s work challenges not only artistic conventions but also cultural and social structures. Through a language of defiance and freedom, they give form to the experiences of marginalized communities too often silenced or erased. Sinno is the second guest on the Lisān al-Hāl podcast.
Hanan Al Shaykh | Lisan Alhal
A bold writer whose pen neither compromises language nor conforms to the culture of “red lines” imposed by society on women writers of her generation, pressuring them to produce literary work that fits expected norms in both language and subject matter. Our first guest on the Lisān al-Hāl podcast is the novelist and playwright Hanan Al Shaykh.
