Ep 71. From Paralysis to Purpose: An Artist’s Inspiring Journey in Saudi Arabia with Aida Murad

Ep 71. From Paralysis to Purpose: An Artist’s Inspiring Journey in Saudi Arabia with Aida Murad

What would you do if your life changed overnight?

In this episode of Saudi Life: Unpacked, Frankie and Lily sit down with artist Aida Murad, whose life changed overnight when she became partially paralysed with rheumatoid arthritis in her early twenties. Instead of focusing on what she had lost, she chose to focus on the 1% she could still use - and that decision led her to a completely new purpose through art.

Now based in Saudi Arabia, Aida is an artist-in-residence at the St. Regis, a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, and an advocate for creativity as a tool for healing, innovation and personal growth.We also explore what it’s really like building a creative career in Saudi today - the opportunities, the relationship-driven culture, the need for patience and flexibility, and why this moment in the Kingdom feels like a once-in-a-generation opportunity for creatives and entrepreneurs.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you can build a creative life in Saudi Arabia - this episode is for you.
