Exploring Art and Politics with Rama Duwaji

Exploring Art and Politics with Rama Duwaji

On a rainy morning in New York City last week, I had the privilege of sitting down with artist and First Lady Rama Duwaji at Gracie Mansion for an exclusive interview. Our conversation covered her artistic journey and her role in political life, all set against the backdrop of her vivid drawings and intricate ceramics.

This interview offered a deeper insight into Duwaji’s personal narrative and her identity as both an artist and a public figure. I found her perspectives enlightening and hope readers will appreciate the nuances of her story as much as I did.

Meanwhile, in New York, a mystery lingers: Who is responsible for the guerrilla posters urging a boycott of the Jeff Bezos-sponsored Met Gala? —Hakim Bishara, editor-in-chief
