YouTube breakout star @مازن السقاف Mazen Alsaqqaf created a short video questioning the state of art in Yemen today and investigating young talents’ well-being from different parts of Yemen. In his film, How are they now?, Alsaqqaf shows that many Yemeni talents do not get any opportunities that other artists worldwide receive to flourish. Hindered by war and isolation, all that Mazen can do is to call the artists and check-in. In this film, pianist Abrar Al-Hanani (Ta’izz), flautist Marseel Nay (Ta’izz), singer Hajar Nooman (Ta’izz), graffiti artist Wassem Alward (Sana’a), singer Ibrahim Fadl (Hadramout), cinematographer Mohamed Samy (Aden), actor Bakkar Saleh (Hadramout), filmmaker Maria Alnahari (Ibb), writer Hamza Al-Qadhi (Hajjah), and director Abdulrahman Alward (Ibb) made an appearance.
