Oh my goodness! As an archivist, i feel like i just want to dive into that work of gathering and preserving this history 😍😍 can't wait to hear more!

Does Afikra mean “a thought” or to think about. I know some Arabic but it’s not my main. My parents are Palestinian. Great podcast. Very good to sometimes focus on the positive aspects during all this trauma on the people in Palestine and everywhere else

Literally it is (on a thought) Meaning based on a thought And we use it as in English when they say : by the way .

Request to afikra - عفكرة could you list the artists who Venetia Porter noted and where they are from? It was such rapid fire I could not make the names out.

[@bluefunk05]

- Paul Guiragossian- Lebanese/Armenian artist - Aref el Rayess- Lebanese artist (I just started the episode, will listen in for further names)
