Death in the Mediterranean: African Migration to Europe | Ahlam Chemlali & Younous Arbaoui
This episode explores the intersection of migration policies, colonial history, and human rights in the North African borderlands. Guests Dr. Ahlam Chemlali and Dr. Younous Arbaoui discuss how European Union (EU) externalization policies impact daily life in Tunisia and the broader Mediterranean.

Nostalgic Rebels: Politics, Aesthetics, and Selfhood in Postcolonial Morocco | Dr. Khalid Lyamlahy
We delve into the complex intersection of revolt and nostalgia in postcolonial Moroccan literature with author and scholar Khaled Lyamlahy who offers specific, evidence-based insights into the diverse trajectories of three influential writers, Abdellatif Laâbi, Abdelkebir Khatibi, and Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine, and discusses how their unique experiences with activism, imprisonment, and exile shaped their work. An assistant professor at the University of Chicago, Dr. Lyamlahy helps us explore his latest book, Nostalgic Rebels, which complicates traditional narratives of Moroccan postcoloniality. He emphasizes that nostalgia is not merely a backward-looking emotion but a transformative force capable of reinventing the future. He confronts the notion that these literary movements are static, asserting that writing has a deep responsibility to provoke thought and ask difficult questions. The conversation also delves into the unique challenges of translation and the poetic power of fragments, highlighting the need for deeper literary dialogue between North and Sub-Saharan Africa.

L’histoire du Kawkaw
Kawkaw est un projet initié par Younes Baba-Ali, sur invitation du centre culturel LE 18 à Marrakech en 2016. Pensé comme une résidence ayant donné lieu à une exposition collective et à une série de rencontres, il a réuni cinq artistes du Grand Maghreb et ouvert un espace de dialogue et de recherche par la pratique artistique, dont ce podcast prolonge aujourd’hui les réflexions. Face à une scène artistique nord-africaine en pleine mutation, Kawkaw illustre la volonté de créer de nouvelles perspectives et d'explorer les opportunités et le potentiel inexploité de cette région. Kawkaw, qui signifie cacahuète en darija, est synonyme d'un aliment populaire, partagé avec plaisir, riche en saveurs et commun à tous les pays du Maghreb. Le programme incarne ce processus de décloisonnement et de partage dans le domaine artistique. Le podcast prolonge ce geste de décorticage en explorant les couches d’histoires, de langues et de circulations reliant Afrique du Nord et Afrique de l’Ouest, malgré les séparations coloniales et les héritages de l’esclavage et du racisme. Des chercheurs en musique, cinéastes, écrivains, historiens, architectes et artistes invité·es (Mohamed Arejdal, Taoufik Ben Amor, Mamadou Diouf, Ali Essafi, Hadia Gana, Carlos Perez Marin, Katy Léna Ndiaye & Oumar Sall) retracent les significations du mot “Kawkaw”, les routes caravanières, la transe et les musiques de guérison, et les trajectoires artistiques comme outils pour réinventer une géographie culturelle commune.
