The keepers and the thieves of water streams
<p>The first episode of the podcast series <em>Aridity Lines</em> features artist Jumana Emil Abboud, who takes the listeners along a “water walk” she took with Im Juma’a, an elder from the village of Ein Qiniya in occupied Palestine. The walk, narrated by Abboud, delineates the intertwined journey of water, earth, plants, trees, animals and people across time through various folktales from the area. It is annotated through a live interview with the artist by host Reem Shadid, to expand on key elements; such as the paradox between more-than-human and human land demarcations, the forms of ecological knowledges relative to water protection, and the possibility of narrating climate change and resilience through the angle of oral histories.</p>
