GeekyArtistArabWoman - Lubzi

The juice of my heart

I call myself Lubzi. I am from Palestine. I live there too
I am a blend of cultures, a salad of sounds, colors & words. I like to create. I love learning. I aspire to inspire. I seek freedom, harmony, peace and justice. I like to be a bridge between hearts and minds, between people from different cultures and backgrounds.
Here you'll find my theatre sound designs, audio art pieces, some of my writings and sketches & all kinds of crazy mixes and audio experiments that I do.

I am Nobody Bint* Nobody

I am Nobody Bint* Nobody

My mother is an anonymous fallaha*
My father is a simple guy, part of the land.
No, you won’t know my family name.
No we don’t have relatives who are famous
But I am the people who make the history.
I come from the village
From the refugee camp
I am not a 'professional' - whatever that means.
I have a PHD from life and oppression
No, I don’t know where Stanford is
No, I don’t want to be part of a community that classifies me according to my religion or my family name or how much money I make
No I am not willing to climb the ivory tower of yours.
You come down here if you want the truth.
Come listen to the stories of the people - from the people

* Bint : daughter
* Fallaha : peasant woman
