All Things Palestinian Canadian - Rana Nazzal: Research, Human Rights, Art and Activism
The CJPME has a podcast, which I've started listening to once in a while. This episode featured Rana Nazzal, a Palestinian-Canadian artist. She discusses making political art, making art for a specific audience, and the difference between how her art is received in Palestine itself and in Canada. I think she could have talked about how "Canadianized" the reaction to her art in Canada is but she was being constructive rather than bitchy ;) She's currently finishing a documentary on cemeteries of numbers, places where Israel keeps dead Palestinian bodies (sometimes under the excuse of continuing to serve prison terms!) since the Israeli supreme court has allowed the withholding of dead bodies in 2015. We need to find an expression to describe the ghoulishness of the Zionist state without it sounding like some sort of blood libel.
A related article, more broadly about Israel necropolitics and desecration of Palestinian bodies, at Al Jazeera.
Okay, another quick hit:
La STM en balado - Planification et construction du métro de Montréal
Une courte histoire orale de la planification et de la construction du Métro de Montréal. On y entend quelques architectes et politiciens qui ont parlé de comment ils ont poussé certaines décisions cruciales au design et à la construction du métro. On y entend aussi un travailleur qui était sur le chantier avec ses mains et outils, de quoi avait l'air la sécurité à l'époque, et aussi sa fierté à travailler sur un tel projet.
