Neta Weiner is an artist and social activist based in Jaffa. He is the founder and lead singer of the Jewish-Arab hip-hop band System Ali and the artistic director of the Beit System Ali social educational movement. And right now, he is also teaching a Tufts University.

System Ali is musical collective of artists of many nationalities and ethnicities, that blends music genres and languages. As we discussed Neta’s journey from the organic birth of System Ali through its evolution into a structured performing group and an educational movement, we touched on a number of points: the challenges of maintaining unity within such a diverse group,the process of making art under conflict, the importance of disagreement within the creation of art, and changing his role from being a pure creator to also being the business leader of the group.
