Rajae
Taقafat aims to bring together artists, creative entrepreneurs, and professionals from various cultures around the globe, with a focus on the MEA region, to speak on topics related to the cultural creative world.
This podcast also intends to showcase talented young artists and creative professionals by bringing their stories and experiences to the forefront.
Taقafat, or Cultures in Arabic, implies that openness to other cultures helps us to grow and flourish!
On this episode, I address with Banji the issue of Cultural appropriation in the Arts; under what circumstances borrowing can become exploitative? Political and social outlook.
We have also discussed her work as a sustainable designer and curator, and how cultural entrepreneurship can be a tool to empower communities socially and economically. And other random interesting thoughts.
Happy Listening!
