Culture is a battlefield. In this impassioned address, Chama exposes how extremists weaponize art, music, and storytelling, or seek to erase them altogether in the Middle East and how they’re already censoring censor art in America in an assault on the fundamental values of pluralism and freedom of religion. She issues a rallying cry for artists, creatives, and cultural diplomats to reclaim artistic spaces for Jewish resistance and rehumanization.
