Hi Mazen,

Hello Mazen,
we met briefly when you played at Kraakgeluiden in Amsterdam, both of us unaware of what the future would bring. Yannick Dauby reminded me about your website and your drawings, and I just wanted to send a message saying "don't stop! keep going!". During the NATO bombing campaign against Serbia, some of the most powerful things I saw in my life were online messages from young people, artists and students in Belgrade, Novi Sad and elsewhere who simply expressed their daily experiences. Some were angry, vengeful and confused, others thoughtful, witty and ironic. But all of them gave a much better picture than the ones we saw on CNN and the BBC abroad. Now there's another crisis, and the world is watching again. I hope your art can cut through the media hype and government propaganda to show your own personal lived experience of this event to everyone who takes the time to look.
