Mohammed Murshed: An Artist Highlights Yemen’s Ancient Places and Hidden History

Mohammed Murshed is a professional artist from Yemen who addresses Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) through his work. He returns to the podcast to describe his personal experiences in Yemen’s ancient places and challenge Yemenis to spend more time researching their own history. He shares about his experiences of being pressured to conform while growing up in Yemen, and how Yemen has been weakened by ideologies and theologies that divide Yemenis rather than uniting them. He urges Yemenis to search for the full picture of their history with all of its color and be strengthened by honoring the diverse influences that have shaped the Yemeni people.
