Haifa Subai: Graffiti Artist & Voice of Silent Victims

Haifa Subai portrays the devastating effects of war in her art on the streets of Yemen. Influenced by the armed conflict she has witnessed in her country since the start of the Arab Spring until now, Haifa launched an advocacy campaign called Silent Victims, which highlights women’s and children’s issues in the time of war. Her special exhibition called “War & Human” is featured at the Singapore Art Museum. In this episode, Haifa shares how her supportive family environment helped her to thrive, and how she has used her opportunities to be a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. Haifa challenges Yemenis with access to life-saving awareness messages about COVID-19 to take responsibility for spreading these key messages to every level of Yemeni society.
