Art and Justice Work Together | Rami Nashashibi

Rami Nashashibi champions how art can make humans visible to each other. He brings a new energy to Islam’s core commitment to beauty and humanity — and to the power of stories to heal and electrify us across geography and generation, culture and faith. He founded the Inner-City Muslim Action Network on Chicago’s South Side, where he also lives with his family. “The arts have become the real factor for us in both humanizing each other’s stories, connecting our stories, and revealing to one another the possibilities of what a better world can look like,” he says. Rami Nashashibi was named a MacArthur fellow in 2017 and an Opus Prize laureate in 2018. Find the transcript at onbeing.org.
