🎟️ Art, Resilience, and Creating Change through Music with Ruth Daniel In this special episode of JMI’s Power of Music podcast, we welcome Ruth Daniel, a musician, activist, and cultural leader who has spent years working in high-risk environments with her organisation In Place of War, where music is more than just art—it’s survival and resistance. From conflict zones to climate-affected regions, Ruth and her team empower local artists to create change from within their own communities.
🌟 She shares her journey—from being a musician to running an independent label in the UK to founding Un-Convention, a movement connecting grassroots musicians worldwide—led her to witness firsthand the power of music in shaping societies. From hip-hop in Palestine to electronic music on politically charged dance floors, she discusses how artists in these regions are reclaiming their voices and creating impact despite the challenges they face.
✨ This episode is a powerful reflection on how music and creativity persist even in the toughest conditions, and how supporting artists in these spaces can help drive meaningful change.
