The subject of the artists’ rights is one that takes on new meanings when posed within the context of Palestine, and was the topic of discussion in a panel discussion titled “Social and Cultural Mobilization for the Protection of Artists”.

Last week, Jafra Productions held the inaugural edition of the Palestine Music Conference (PMC), a forum bringing together all players in the Palestinian music industry. The 2-day event united everyone from musicians and cultural programmers to educators and legal experts, to discuss the issues faced by local music production today.
