    Colonial Apologists and New Counter-revolutionary Waves in the European Left

    Leftists and anti-colonial activists in the West, specifically in Austria and Germany, are facing an unprecedented time of uncertainty and infiltration from inside the “Left” by different counter-revolutionary waves, among them colonial apologists, liberals with a red aesthetic and reactionaries abusing identity politics.

    Capitalism is Haram & What Marx got Wrong about Islam feat. Sharghzadeh

    In this conversation with Sharghzadeh, a Detroit-based Iranian-American translator of Persian poetry, we attempt to critique capitalism from an Islamic perspective and shed light on the history of mainstream Muslim hostility towards anti-capitalism and Marxism specifically.

    Do we Need to Reclaim Anti-Racism? feat. Berfîn

    Is it time to reclaim anti-racist movements and who are we reclaiming them from? In this conversation with the Vienna-based activist Berfîn (@berfin.marx) we analyse the insensitive behaviour of non-marginalised allies from liberal, male leftist and antideutsch circles – from content creators' and big corporations' deceptive anti-racist façade, to the fetishisation of Kurdish female fighters and liberal zionists overshadowing Palestinians in the anti-annexation discourse.

    Orientalism in Art and Architecture feat. Salma

    In this conversation with the podcast’s co-organiser Salma, we explore the subject of orientalism and some of its manifold aspects. How can a 1866 French painting fuel right-wing extremism in Germany, and where do feminism and gender come in? How are ‘oriental’ buildings in the West an expression of imperialism and are they to be compared to orientalist paintings? Salma’s paper: The Orient has Arrived: a Critique on Germany’s Far-Right and Jean Léon-Gérôme’s Slave Market Some further resources: Orientalism by Edward Said Human Exhibitions: Race, Gender and Sexuality in Ethnic Displays by Rikke Andreassen Die Moschee an der Wien. 300 Jahre islamischer Einfluss in der Wiener Architektur by Claudius Caravias (German) Der imaginäre Orient: Exotische Bauten des achtzehnten und neunzehnten Jahrhunderts in Europa by Stefan Koppelkamm (German)

    White Allies, Saviours and Liberation feat. Zirrar

    Welcome to the first episode of Diaspora Disorientate, a podcast hosted by Iman Elghonemi, in which we tackle relevant issues concerning the BIPoC and Muslim communities in the West from a decolonial lens. In this conversation with the writer and photographer Zirrar, we address organising in the diaspora. Are allies in the struggle against various systems of oppression from outside affected communities a blessing? What is white saviourism and how threatening is it really?
