In this episode of Something to Consider, we sit down with the brilliant and often misunderstood Sarah Al Agroobi—a multidisciplinary artist, researcher, educator, and host of The Native Informant podcast. Sarah’s work challenges societal norms, explores identity and cultural belonging, and pushes the boundaries of artistic and academic expression.
We delve into what it means to be truly seen, the complexities of belonging, the evolution of Arab identity, cancel culture vs. redemption, and the role of art as social activism.
Sarah reflects on navigating dual identities, breaking away from societal expectations, and the importance of holding space for difficult conversations.This is an episode about courage, resilience, and carving out space in a world that often demands conformity. We hope you will find something to consider.
