Perla was born and raised in Orange County, went to UC Berkeley for her Bachelors, and worked in Bakersfield for her first job as a multimedia journalist.
For two years, Farida Erikat and Ramah Awad hosted art workshops with Middle Eastern youth in San Diego, giving them a blank canvass to explore what “home” means to them.“In the U.S. you can often feel caught between two worlds: my parents heritage and my homeland,' Erikat said. 'Where I am now, and the culture I grew up in. So we want to help them navigate this balance between two identities.
The two feel this is especially important now, as they mourn ongoing devastation and war in their homelands.“Arts are so integral to our tradition,' Erikat said. 'And right now with what’s happening in Gaza and Palestine, it is an opportunity for our youth to express their stories and voices without feeling they have to edit themselves or censor themselves.”They want the exhibit to challenge stereotypes about Arab and Muslim communities.
