FREE PALESTINE⁠

So much to say but it's all been said before. But this time it feels different, the world is watching and paying attention. ⁠

We will not be silent and we will not be silenced. ⁠

The algorithm can not hold back the truth.⁠

10 Years ago today my bother Yassin (PKA The Narcicyst aka Narcy) and I released what might be one of the most important pieces of Muslim art in the west. The music video for his song Hamdulillah was a labor of love for me personally and a love letter to our community. 


Watching it again today brings back so many memories.So many faces and friends are featured in this video, some I haven’t seen in years and some that aren’t with us anymore.


This was before things really went viral and now it sits at over 1.8 million views still boggles my mind, that was never the intention. Another case of creating from a place of honesty and sincerity being embraced, appreciated, and shared by the public.Young content creators pay attention, it’s not about the views its about the intention. 


This was a moment in time frozen and captured yet still relevant today. 


So today on it’s tenth birthday I am going to reflect on what we did and how it helped shape my career and much of my work in the ten years since and look forward to the next ten years of creating honest work that hopefully inspires generations to come. 


Shout out to my sister Shadia Mansour on the epic hook and Sandhill on the beautiful production.

Ridwan Adhami • @ridzdesign X Shepard Fairey • @obeygiant - "We The People"

I created the photograph on the left almost TEN YEARS ago for the 5 Year Anniversary of 9/11 as a response to the rhetoric of that time against Muslims and the claims that we weren’t American enough. •

I wanted to make a power statement. I wanted to create something that we as a community could be proud of. I wasn’t apologizing for anything, I wasn’t asking to be accepted, I was merely stating that I too was an American. Wholly and completely and nothing anybody would say could take that away. •
The flag is a symbol and a clear and instantly noticeable representation of America. Hijab, the Arabic word for head cover, is also a clear and instantly recognizable symbol for Islam. What better symbols to use. •
To take it up a notch I wanted to shoot the photo at the World Trade Center site, near Wall Street in the financial district in Manhattan, NYC. That point as long been lost and can barely be seen in the background of the image. But it was important to be there, doing it there in itself was a statement. I remember getting all types of weird looks and a few sly comments while shooting, “What are they doing?” or “You can’t use a flag like that.” I was a New Yorker, the subject Munira was a New Yorker, we are both Muslim, the city was ours, the nation was ours, the religion was ours.There was no separating all those facts as many tried and still try to do. •
Little did we know what we actually created and how it would be used by both sides of the argument over the next 10 years. It would appear first and officially on the cover of a small Muslim run publication that stopped production a few years later, but later the image would unofficially be used on a multitude of blogs, event posters, social media accounts and websites. Both Muslims proud of the image and islamophobes trying to falsely call attention to how un-American Islam is. If you google “Islam in America” or “Islamophobia” the image still ranks quite highly. •

I can not believe I am typing these words. SYRIA IS FREE. Syria is finally free. Tears of joy and hope. I pray for a peaceful transition of power and peace and a return to our motherland to its former glory. I can not wait to see my family.

Because you can’t make a show about #ArabAmerican history without addressing the elephant in the room. 🐘 #NotQuiteWhite is another song that can only be heard live at the @littlesyriashow, and the second verse is a doozy too. 🎙️ Hope to see you there beloved. 🪬 #Sinsyrianly — #OmarOffendum.

A poet wrote a verse in #NewYorkCity a century ago. ✍🏼 A verse that was published in an anthology of his work, which was later sold on the streets of #Damascus in the 70s … My mother picked up a copy back then & brought it with her on her immigration journey to the United States a decade later (one that incidentally would involve a stop at her sister’s place in #Queens before finally settling further south in DC). ✈️ At some point during that time she read this verse & underlined it … Less than 20 years later she would move back to #Syria — a widow — and I would end up inheriting her library and moving this book with me to Los Angeles. 📚 Fast forward another two decades — a war has forced her to leave her beloved homeland again, and I am an artist turning the very same underlined verses into the poetic heart & soul of the @littlesyriashow. ✍🏼 With any luck, maybe 100 years from now someone in the #Syrian diaspora will find comfort & inspiration in the words I write today.

“Time spent on the grind has never been wasted — though that’s lost on a donkey chasing a carrot that it’s never tasted.” 🥕#OmarOffendum.

The Little Syria Show 🗽 #NYC 📍 Joe’s Pub — July 13/14

#LittleSyria is at its core an investigation into what capitalism & the pursuit of #MoneyMoneyMoney can do to an #immigrant / artist’s soul … It is also a great excuse for me to use the word 7mar more often on stage. 🫏 This banger produced by @thanksjoey is available on all streaming platforms & only when we perform it live does @ronniemalley add some extra special seasoning to it on the keys. 🎹 Tickets for the @littlesyriashow at @joespub this weekend are selling fast like #Syrian soap in the summertime — don’t say I didn’t warn you beloved. 🪬 #Sinsyrianly — #OmarOffendum.

PS — You too can smell like a Syrian by visiting @mintandlaurel to purchase some of your own artisanal #Aleppo soap from my sister. 🧼 Be sure to check out the all new “Beit Offendum” section of her website for exclusive #Offendum merch, please & shukran!
