Tunisian Artist Bosnian Reflects on Resigning as UN Goodwill Ambassador
Lutfi Bosnak, a well-known artist, recently made a powerful statement supporting Palestine during an Arabic operetta show in Amman, Jordan. Bosnak emphasized the important role of artists in society, stating that they should be the voice of the people and reflect the reality in which they live.
During his speech, Bosnak highlighted the significance of culture as a tool for identity preservation, image enhancement, and economic support for the Arab community. He also emphasized the lasting impact of artists compared to politicians, noting that artists will be remembered long after politicians have left office.
When asked about his decision to relinquish his title as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador in light of Israel’s attacks on Gaza, Bosnak expressed strong condemnation for the ongoing violence and called for the UN to take a clear stance. He lamented the lack of action in the face of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, stating that he could not bear to witness the suffering and loss of life without speaking out.
Bosnak’s bold stance in support of Palestine and his call for justice and peace resonate with many who are watching the tragic events unfolding in the region. His words serve as a reminder of the power of artists to inspire change and advocate for a better world.
