My cellmates gathered around and started to help, and we started laughing, hoping, and dreaming.” Syrian artist and activist Azza Abo Rebieh took the stage at the 2025 #OsloFreedomForum to share how she has used her art as a powerful tool for resilience and a beacon of hope for a free and democratic Syria.
