Episode 4: Land as Living Heritage

Listen to Episode 4 Season 3 of our podcast “A Future in the Folds of the Past,” which focuses on the role of art institutions, artists, and cultural practitioners in discussing the climate crisis.

In this episode, titled "Land as a Living Heritage", we host Rabee Zureikat, the founder of the Zikra Initiative for Popular Learning in Jordan, which aims to promote sustainability by reshaping the community's relationship with urban agricultural spaces and providing opportunities for people to participate in planting and harvesting local wheat.

We also speak with Zeinab Jaafar, an architect and researcher in urban studies, and a member of the Preserving Sudan’s Living Heritage project. She discusses the environmental challenges in Sudan that threaten the culture and community heritage, and the importance of cultural initiatives in these challenging times to enhance community resilience and protect cultural legacy.

Season three focuses on the role of art institutions, artists, and cultural practitioners in addressing the climate crisis.

Highlighting the impacts of climate change on communities across the SWANA region, particularly vulnerable groups, the podcast emphasizes the role of art in fostering dialogue around the climate crisis.

A podcast that invites listeners on a journey exploring critical issues through the lens of contemporary art and culture, ‘A Future in the Folds of the Past’ is the only Arabic-language podcast dedicated to contemporary visual arts in a documentary format.
