Syrians never accepted dictatorship as destiny, but what did they explicitly reject when they rose up against the Assad regime? In Part 2 of "Rebuilding Syria", we examine the litany of no’s articulated by the Syrian people, which ultimately led to the regime's demise.
Silk Road Cultural Center's Jamil Khoury speaks with Assyrian American theater artist, Atra Asdou, about her new play "Iraq, But Funny," premiering at Chicago's Lookingglass Theatre Company, May 29 - July 20, 2025.
The conversation also explores Assyrian identity in the diaspora, and a Who's Who of Assyrian American art makers.
