Our Vision
Our Vision
TMakam Salam was born from a deep belief in the power of cross-sectarian collaboration between Middle Eastern artists — Palestinian, Israeli, Lebanese, Iranian, and more — and in the ability of art to open hearts and create pathways toward deeper understanding and collective imagining of a shared future.
Through collaboration, dialogue, and the courage to share difficult truths, we take the first steps toward a more peaceful and just world, rooted in empathy, dignity, and collective liberation. Our goal is to nurture equality, safety, and freedom for all people across the Holy Land and the Middle East.
We believe in freeing ourselves and one another from boundaries — whether they stem from gender, religion, ideology, or national borders. By seeing beyond labels and recognizing our shared humanity, we can dissolve fear, build trust, and begin to break down the walls that divide us.
We call for collective liberation — for the oppressed and the oppressor to be freed from their roles, for all people to rise beyond systems of hate and division, for communities to be safe, connected, and empowered. Through music, we create spaces where peace, equality, empathy, and understanding are not just ideals, but lived experiences we can build together.
