Ancestral Connection in Movement Work: Exploring Ushpizine Practice with the DWELL in Revolution Team


Listen Later

Join us for an extra special episode with Micah Bazant and Ollie Schwartz, two of the main organizers of the DWELL in Revolution project, as we discuss the creation process and intention behind the zine, in addition to discussing the complexities and joy that are a part of organizing for our movement. 

So much work went into this beautiful project, a project that enables folks to learn about and honor their anti-zionist ancestors. It is so essential that we see these examples of anti-zionism in our history, so that we can strengthen our own anti-zionist foundations. It’s equally as essential to begin learning about ancient ancestral practices and rituals that zionism has tried to stamp out of Judaism.


Stay tuned for the second part of this series where we talk with two of the artists included in the project about their creation process!


If you don’t already have it, you can purchase the DWELL zine here.
