PINKWASHING & PALESTINE w/ Jamil Fiorino-Habib
We had the privilege of speaking with Jamil Fiorino-Habib after hearing their talk at a Palestinian solidarity event hosted by RAFI (Raising Awareness and Funds Initiative) in Amsterdam on November 19th. We explore themes of pink-washing and homonationalism in relation to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Palestine. Jamil provides an incredibly incisive, sensitive, personal, political and nuanced perspective on the way traditional media continues to be used to dispossess and dehumanize Palestinians, as well as the current ways in which social media platforms are being used to disseminate images and information.
This is an incredibly urgent topic and an episode we highly recommend taking the time to listen to. We encourage you to continue to educate yourself, listen, take action and demand human rights for those who have been stripped of them.
Jamil is a lecturer in the Media & Culture BA program at University of Amsterdam, teaching courses on topics such as Media Aesthetics, Film Analysis, Philosophy of the Humanities, and Media Research.
"RAFI (Raising Awareness and Funds Initiative) is an Amsterdam founded initiative that aims to raise awareness and funds in support of and in solidarity with dire global political currents. We aim to respond to different (yet intersecting) forms of oppression regionally and globally through local collectivization and collaboration...RAFI follows the initiative of radically deconstructing our thought patterns and putting our collaborative efforts to use for those politically oppressed."
