Deleted scenes
This podcast is part of Re-Imagine Europe, co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.
We dig up some unreleased fragments of the interview with Raqs Media Collective founder member Monica Narula, that we were unable to include the first time around.
Naeem Mohaiemen
Naeem Mohaiemen talks about pragmatic politics and failed masculinities, about Yasser Arafat, Muammar Gaddafi, and Salvador Allende, about the backstories of "Two Meetings and a Funeral", and about the Non-Aligned Movement and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation. We also talk about the generative aspect of melancholy, behind-the-scenes politics, and the importance of keeping up the search for the things that we still do not know.
Raqs Media Collective
Raqs Media Collective founder Monica Narula talks about raga, the technological body, public domain, the ineffability of time, the Mahabharata, politics of language, exhaustion, dilation and the legibility.
