Discussion with Comedian, Peace Builder, and Activist Noam Shuster Eliassi

This event occurred on:  Join us for an evening of critical conversation and cultural insight with Noam Shuster Eliassi—comedian, activist, and cultural critic. Noam uses comedy to challenge systems of power and open space for dialogue on justice, identity, and coexistence. She grew up in Neve Shalom/Wahat al-Salam, the only intentionally mixed Palestinian-Jewish community in Israel, and performs in Hebrew, Arabic, and English.

Her work spans stages across the globe, including the Palestine Comedy Festival, where she became the first Jewish performer to take the mic. With a background in peacebuilding and a sharp comedic voice, Noam brings together stories, satire, and social critique in a way that’s as entertaining as it is necessary.

This event is hosted by It’s Complicated, a student-led project of the Hannah Arendt Center, creating space for thoughtful learning, cross-perspective dialogue, and critical engagement around Israel/Palestine.
