Summary:

"UNSILENCED is a series of conversations by Errant Podcast with artists, scholars, and activists that have been cancelled, disinvited or de-platformed in Germany over their show of support for Palestine. The goal of these conversations is not to talk about the cancelling per se (although we really need to talk about that too!), but rather about the activities that were cancelled. With this approach we hope to discuss and show the relation between the work these artists and scholars do and the struggle for Palestinian liberation. The second conversation in this series is with Palestinian-American journalist Hebh Jamal. In the beginning of June 2024, the University of Heidelberg cancelled an event where Jamal was to speak about manufacturing consent for genocide and German censorship of Palestinians. We use this conversation to not only talk about the cancellation, but about the worrying rise of an academic discourse in Germany that frames postcolonialism as antisemitic, and thereby aims to discredit all anti-colonial voices. The complicity of universities worldwide in the genocide in Gaza exposes how these institutions are rooted in modern/colonial structures. This is why it is important to seek out our own communities, and why Jamal writes: "The streets will be our classroom. The streets will be our university.""-- provided by distributor.
