25. "Jerusalem is not a City" with Abed Alrahman Shabaneh

Abed Alrahman Shabaneh is a Palestinian writer and curator. In addition to writing novels and essays, Abed also worked on urban planning in Jerusalem. From this experience he gained invaluable insights into how colonialism and occupation is constructed.

In his conversation with Edgar, Abed speaks about his ideas about where the technological future will take us, expressed through his slightly dystopian literary work.
