Mohammed Murshed: An Artist Shines a Light on Trauma and War

Mohammed Murshed is a professional artist from Yemen who works with paint, sculpture, video, sound, programming for art, and video games. His work addresses the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) that he experiences as a result of living through the war in Yemen, and how he's processing its effects. He is on a journey to being healed of his trauma and wants to shine a light, and bring awareness to the worst humanitarian crisis in the world today, the situation that his home country of Yemen now faces. In this episode he describes how art is both an outlet of escape and an outlet for making a positive difference.
