Liane AlGhusain @lianeya is a Palestinian-Kuwaiti artist and writer. Liane is a textile artist experimenting with a number of forms, including video, sculpture, and text. Her main research interests are in the fields of mysticism, feminism, post-colonialism and science fiction. Liane holds BA and MA in English literature and creative writing from Stanford University and MFA in Art and Media from NYAD.
In this episode we were reflecting on her artistic path, and how much her art is influenced by the land and people of Palestine. Prior to working on some of her most valuable art, Liane has visited Palestine. This experience was transformational and is visible in her art, her writings as well as her most recent endeavor - Stitch in for Palestine - a community meetup to learn and share the art of tatreez, an intricate Palestinian embroidery craft.
