Episode 14- Bellydancing, Activism and the Politics of Pleasure

In today's episode we will be joined by Banah al Ghadbanah to talk about her recent article: Bellydancing, Activism and the Politics of Pleasure. The article explores the importance of self-care and pleasure within the activist environment. The author particularly focuses on her personal experiences as someone with friends and family who were activists in the Syrian Revolution and who was both an observer and participant in some senses. In the light of these experiences, al Ghadbanah discusses what it means to claim spaces of pleasure during a political struggle.
