The above conversation with poet, writer, thinker, artist, and doctorette of philosophy, elianne el-amyouni, was recorded in March 2024.
elianne and Kelly sit down to discuss elianne’s thesis on the Palestinian political identity, how queerness leads to liberation, the performative ruse of the colonial justice system, and leaving behind the transactional nature of modern dating
While neither elianne nor Kelly believe in the integrity of nation states, they know today that countries are social constructs that govern our lives in many ways. Our world runs on imaginary borders and their rules about who can and cannot cross them.
In their conversation, elianne shares about what it’s like growing up under the threat of warfare and how that changes one’s relationship to death — and being alive.
they also touch on alchemy, culture, justice, and how language shapes it all
May we all embody the knowing that our collective futures are linked to one another.
