MENA welcomes Dr. Nour Joudah (University of California, Los Angeles) as a speaker in the MENA Monday lecture series. Lunch will be served at the event.
This talk will give a glimpse into Dr. Joudah’s ongoing research and book project which focuses on how indigenous communities use mapping as an imaginative decolonial praxis. Starting with the remapping of pre- and post-independence Algeria as inspiration and a nodal point of inquiry, the study grows to a comparison of contemporary countermapping efforts for Palestine and Hawaii. These various creative processes range from archiving, the design of reconstructing destroyed villages, to the embodied imagining of protest and land restoration – all of which stand as testaments to indigenous duration.
