Voices of the Middle East and North Africa - Eyal Weizman discusses" Hollow Land: Israel's Architecture of Occupation."In this week's program, Khalil Bendib will be in conversation with Eyal Weizman, Director of the Centre for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths, University of London, and the author of Hollow Land: Israel's Architecture of Occupation. His book is a groundbreaking exposé of Israel's terrifying reconceptualization of geopolitics in the Occupied Territories and beyond. In exploring Israel's methods to transform the landscape itself into a tool of total domination and control, Hollow Land lays bare the political system at the heart of this complex and terrifying project of late-modern colonial occupation.
During the program, we will also hear selections from music CD "I am Eve" by Iranian sisters Mahsa and Marjan Vahdat.
