37. What Goes Into A Sarah Bahbah Vision? On Thinking in Subtitles, Reclaiming Her Arab Culture, Unlearning Shame Through Art, and More. * Welcome to the Season Two Finale of Podcast Noor: the dreamy world of one of our generation's most prolific artists.  Sarah Bahbah is a Palestinian-Jordanian artist, and director born and raised in Australia now living in Los Angeles. Sarah‘s photographs are the stuff dreams are made of: color, luxury, romance, heartache, endless curated food spreads and almost always, paired with a perfectly curated subtitle. Her photograph series often feel like films, and when she's in director mode sometimes they actually do become dreamy films. Photography, film and writing are mediums Sarah uses to process her feelings into art. Sarah also comes from the ad world; she founded her creative agency Possy in 2016 and has worked with brands like Gucci, Conde Nast, Capital Records, Sony Music and GQ. Early 2023, Sarah  self-published her first book, the fine art book titled, "Dear Love" featuring a decade of her work, as well as raw and vulnerable life stories. She opens up Intimately about her experience with childhood sexual abuse, and even interviews her father about his experience of being forced to leave his homeland of Palestine, and never really feeling at home anywhere else. And of course as someone who relates to the experience of growing up in an Arab household, I really dig into asking about Sarah‘s relationship with her parents and how they feel about her work, and Sarah so graciously shares very openly.  This is such a loving final episode of the season, Sarah does not hold back and I really think you guys are going to enjoy this conversation.  Welcome to the Season Two Finale of Podcast Noor.  * Transcripts + Listening: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.ays.media/podcastnoor/sarahbahbah * 🎶 Theme Music: "Thunderdome (W.T.A)" by Portugal.
