In this episode, Dr. Nikolas Kosmatopoulos joined by student Roua Chakaroun speaks with Mrs. Huwaida Arraf, Palestinian-American lawyer, activist, and co-founder of the International Solidarity Movement. Known for her work organizing the Gaza Freedom Flotillas, civilian ships that challenged the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza, Arraf reflects on the political force of collective action at sea.
The conversation moves from the Mediterranean to broader oceanic geographies, exploring how communities around the world are using water not only as a space of livelihood but also as a site of protest, memory, and resistance.
The episode connects the daring voyages with other local struggles across the globe, tracing how voices from the oceanic frontlines are catalyzing a broader shift in the global landscape of resistance.
Listeners are invited into a deep, discussion that navigates law, activism, memory, and the sea as a battleground of sovereignty, solidarity, and hope.
