MaMA - 02 w/ Oudail el Omari

Between land and sky, on Air, we meet is a conversation about Arab identity in the Dutch context. The podcast is rooted from the exhibition Between land and sky, between borders, we meet, which is on display at MaMA until 1 February 2026. A conversation in which Arab identity in the Western context is discussed, reclaimed, and redefined, with musical intermezzo and poetic narration. The conversation reflects on the stories of the Arab diaspora in Rotterdam and how these communities have made the Netherlands their second home. It also reflects on the diverse Asian and African cultures within Arab identity, looking back at memories through phone calls and calendars. The conversation ends by exploring how we can use architecture to create bridges between our Arab cultures, rather than borders.
