Mahmoud Alhaj
more

In this podcast, Gazan artist Mahmoud Alhaj tells us about visual strategies and counter-strategies to reclaim their right to see. We talk about low-resolution images and human rights, about rubble and displacement architecture, and about how to build tents with whatever is at hand. In contrast, Mahmoud shows us 3D scans, pilots with architectural knowledge, military archives, and other psyops tactics. He also gives us a glimpse of the art scene in the Gaza Strip and the resilience of the Palestinian people. In his work, the past, present, and future collapse, while the perception of time operates differently in the everyday life of the occupation.

Tania Safura Adam
more
In this podcast, researcher, writer and curator Tania Safura Adam takes us inside her research processes and strategies to revive the individual and collective memories of blackness in Spain: an urgent and tenacious writing operation based on fragments that are often scattered and disjointed. The public dissemination of these silenced and ignored narratives has the power to make us feel uncomfortable, and in this discomfort lies the potential for transformation. We also talk about gaps in the archive, about potential archives, and about what it means to take responsibility for this. And on a more personal note, about what motherhood and child rearing in the diaspora means for her and for many other women.
