Today's conversation is with the radical Khalil, a Palestinian who refuses to conform to anyone’s expectations, and works intimately in the realms of healing and archiving the practices of our ancestors. Today we are talking about the ways that Palestinians choose to live, despite the struggle to just exist, and how resistance bridges the two. We will situate this conversation in the grander themes of the show with existence, resistance, and overall fragmentation.

Here's some additional information on our guest:
