Foragers: Foraging as an act of love and resistance ft. Jumana Manna

For today's show, I got to chat with Palestinian filmmaker and artist Jumana Manna on her film Foragers. Foragers is featured in this year's Taipei Biennial which will be on till March 24. You can watch Foragers every day except Monday in the cinema room at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum. Foragers is a film about the practice of Palestinians foraging for wild edible plants like Za'atar and Akkoub. Yet, this long-existing Palestinian tradition is deemed "illegal" according to the laws of the current state of Israel. We'll get to know more of why Jumana wanted to create the film and the stories behind it. Let's welcome, Jumana Manna. Stay tuned for part 2 of the interview coming up next week. You can watch Foragers every afternoon (except for Monday) at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum as part of the Taipei Biennial.
