Ayran Ladies

We talk about what's been happening at the Poland-Belarus border with Patrycja from No Borders Team and discuss how the situation has changed within these past few months, how they've been able to organize around supporting people on the move as well as Polish reactions to what's been happening. We also talk about Izabela, a Polish woman who's lost her life as a direct result of last year's abortion ban in the country.

Music this episode is Guilty as skin from PostAnomic/Spiros/Aladin/Onei Xo.

We're joined by political scientist Efsun Kızılay to talk about the history of the Alevi diaspora within the diaspora from Turkey in Germany.

We adress their role within organized guestworkers from Turkey after the Anwerbeabkommen, the difficulties they faced & political allies they had and how they were often misrepresented in the diaspora, as well as in their home country and in Germany.

Also calling the Sivas massacre an anti-muslim attack is stupid, just to be clear.

We're joined by Zenica and Christian to talk about the aftermath of the evictions of Syndikat, a popular Kiezkneipe in Berlin that got evicted nearly a year ago, and Rog, a squatted factory in Ljubljana, also evicted in early 2021. We chat about the housing policies in both capitals, parallels between the two evictions and discuss what it means to defend our collective spaces and solidartity during a pandemic.

We break the ice with an episode about petplay, YouTube looking for Sedat Peker, Can Dündar's art and how to talk about the Turkish mafia without erasing anyone's culture. Hardly any Europe in here but life is what happens while you're busy making other plans.
