In this episode, the Palestinian architect Noura Al Sayeh and the writer, historian, and architect Samia Henni discuss their recent accomplishments and, more broadly, the widespread impact of colonialism and imperialism—on both western perceptions of the world and its geographies, and on the artistic institutions that purport to fight hegemonic power structures. In an emotional, hopeful conversation, they reflect on the meaning of and need for decolonization—in the architectural field and everywhere else—how the siege on Gaza has led to a shift in our collective moral compass, and their genuine optimism for the future.
