Listen "Keeping Faith in Creativity with Ada Jusic"
Episode Synopsis
How can art help us tell important stories that all too often go unheard? What would it look like to truly value and prioritise creativity in our communities? And how do we keep faith in welcome for migrants and refugees, against the backdrop of hostile and divisive rhetoric?In this episode, we spoke to multi-disciplinary artist Ada Jusic, the illustrator behind the graphic novel The Power of Welcome: bringing to life her own journey from Bosnia to the UK as a young child alongside the stories of her co-authors from Somalia, Afghanistan, Syria and Ukraine. We discuss the importance of age-appropriate conversations about migration with children and young people in a world of widespread misinformation, as well as how she brings her life-long passion for artistic self-expression into the community.Follow Ada on Instagram or XFind out more about Ada's work on her websiteRead Ada's article for Barbed Wire Fever: To Be Heard is To Be LovedKeeping Faith: A How-To Guide was created as part of Women’s Interfaith Network's 2024-2025 Keeping Faith Programme. about the programme here and be the first to hear about upcoming events and ways to get involved by signing up to our newsletter.
