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.

Vijay Prashad
more

In this podcast, Marxist historian, editor, and journalist Vijay Prashad emphasises the power of storytelling, expressing emotion as he critiques imperialism and raises awareness about war. While disagreeing with hyper-imperialism, he recognises the uncertain material conditions that underpin conservative ideologies. Reflecting on Palestinian oppression, he thoughtfully revisits the intertwined histories of European colonialism and antisemitism, with a particular focus on the German context. Though fatigued by dishonest discourse, he finds hope in the dissent of younger generations and the socially constructed courage they embody. And despite attempts at silencing, he embraces the defiant spirit of protest, rallying behind the cry: ¡No pasarán!

Lara and Stephen Sheehi
more

In this podcast, Lebanese writers, researchers and activists Lara and Stephen Sheehi walk us through the day-to-day reality of psychoanalysis under occupation, Zionist psy-ops and (anti)oppressive praxis. They talk about psychological warfare and about Sumud—or the reverie of resistance—, and discuss the worldliness of our subjectivities in a world that is not the same for everyone.
