Philip Rizk
Philip Rizk
Philip Rizk is a filmmaker and writer whose work explores themes of power, resistance, and memory, particularly in the context of social and political movements in Egypt, Syria, Palestine and beyond, in a process he describes as “putting struggles into conversation with each other”. In this podcast, we speak with Rizk about the past and present of his practice, about imagined scenarios, and about the impossibility of working with images in today’s world. We discuss autonomy, musha' or land commons, re-enactments, and improvisation as a form of response to imposed order.

Marwa Arsanios
In this podcast, Lebanese artist, researcher, and filmmaker Marwa Arsanios unpacks the many conversational tactics embedded in her modes of working in the gaps between art and activism, in the intersection between ecological thinking, land struggles, and feminist politics. We talk about reading groups, the film object, solidarity as a practice, and using the art economy to bring communities and movements together.
