******ABOUT THE SERIES******
Afikra Conversations is our flagship program featuring long-form interviews with experts from academia, art and media who help document and/or shape the histories and cultures of the Arab world through their work. We hope that by asking guests to share their expertise and stories, the community will come away with a new curiosity – and perhaps with some good recommendations for new nerdy rabbit holes to dive headfirst into. Following the interview, there will be a moderated Q&A session with questions from the live virtual audience on Zoom. Join the live audience: https://www.afikra.com/rsvp

Afikra عفكرة is a movement aimed at converting a passive interest in the Arab world into an active intellectual curiosity. We aim to collectively reframe the region's dominant narrative by exploring the region's histories and cultures – past, present and future – through conversations driven by curiosity.
