22 years on, the memory of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait tends to either fade completely or be replaced with new stories about what transpired.
The presenter Ala' Diab relates his own personal account of his life in Kuwait through storytelling and musical performance.
Ala' Diab is a designer of games and interactive experiences. Music had always been an important part of his life in Kuwait. Growing up he was heavily involved in school music bands and composed music on his own. Using his favorite instrument of that era, the accordion, Diab will discuss how music affected his childhood in Kuwait and will perform pieces connected to the memory of his time there. |
