On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, it is crucial to remember that we can only call this beautiful land home due to the violence and hardships inflicted on Native Americans.

Israel and Gaza are not two countries at war. Gaza is a territory under siege, where every aspect of life is controlled by Israel.
Palestinians didn’t break through a “border” to enter Israel. They destroyed a fence separating them from the homes they were forced out of.

The Netherlands-Flemish Institute in Cairo has always been a second home for me, which makes this event all the more special. In three weeks, I’ll be discussing Adawiya, Imam, and the politics of pop culture where much of my work began. If you’ll be in town, I’d love to see you!
