Politically Depressed
Politically Depressed52. Long Live the Syrian RevolutionIt's finally happened. After 13 years of struggle, the Syrian people emerge victorious. What started as military operations in the north quickly escalated into country-wide revolt, built on decades of resentment, organising and, counter-revolutionary violence. Prisons liberated, Assad fled, and for the first time, in over a decade, Syrians are celebrating. They know, more than any of us, the work that comes now, but for now, let's celebrate with them. This episode is dedicated to Omar Aziz, to Razan Zaitouneh, to Alan Kurdi, to all the brave fighters who were martyred by this regime, to all the ordinary...

Novel Dialogue7.4 Not Prophecy but Inversion: Omar El Akkad and Min Hyoung SongOmar El Akkad joins critic Min Hyoung Song for a gripping conversation that interrogates fiction’s relationship to the real.

His first novel, American War (Vintage, 2018), follows the protagonist’s radicalization against the backdrop of afossil fuel-motivated civil war. His second, What Strange Paradise (Vintage, 2022), is a haunting retelling of Peter Pan focused on a young Syrian refugee. But as Omar and Min’s dialogue reveals, litera...

Kunafa and ShayCreating the Change: Featuring Masrah Cleveland Al-Arabi with Raymond Bobgan and Omar KurdiMENA artists continue to work hard to create representation in large theatrical arenas by pushing for their work to be produced on contemporary stages. However, since some major theatres only allot 1 or 2 slots a year for plays by BIPOC artists, and MENA artists have frequently been ignored. They have found other ways to create thriving artistic spaces for actors, directors, and playwrights alike. Masrah Cleveland Al Arabi has created a space for MENA artists to thrive. This artist-led organizational infrastructure serves as an example of how change can be made within existing theatrical structures. Today we are joined by Raymond...

Det, Muslimer Taler OmSærudgave: Kvindelige grunddyderI anden del handler det om grunddyder i islam set fra et kvindeligt perspektiv. Zainab taler med Aiysha og Iman om at pille idealerne forbundet med kvinden fra hinanden og komme frem til det ideal, som harmonerer bedst med islamiske værdier. Hvordan kan kvinder balancere familie- og arbejdsliv, følelsen af ansvar i og uden for hjemmet, og hvor langt strækker denne ansvarsfølelse sig? Vi taler om balancen mellem den maskuline energi og den feminine tilgang til at arbejde og være en aktiv del af samfundet, herunder moskéen som både en arbejdsplads og et sted, h...
