On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from photographer André Penteado on the textures of Brazilian life today and in the past. André's projects have focused on both the personal and the social, visiting unaddressed points of Brazilian history, like uprisings of Indigenous and formally enslaved Black communities in the North of the country, to taboo topics like the impacts of contemporary suicide rates on families, a point that André has experienced directly when his father took his own life. André is also an educator and has worked hard to create collective spaces of learning surrounding contemporary photographic practices in Brazil today.

On this edition of Cultural workers for Palestine I feature different content from the usual broadcast, focusing on the mobilizations for Palestine that took place in Belém, Brazil during the COP30 UN summit on climate that took place in Belém, Brazil. As there is a stunning amount of creativity that goes into the thinking, organizing and actions within such institutional spaces which are often cold, or openly hostile to addressing the voices of peoples and struggles that are marginalized. Badra speaks about the on-the-ground alliances between Palestinian activists and Indigenous people in Brazil, both involved in critical struggles for land rights. Also Badra speaks about the ways that the climate justice struggle and the Palestinian struggle are critically interwoven at this time. Badra works with the Palestinian Institute of Public Diplomacy. https://www.thepipd.com This interview series hosted by Stefan Christoff airs on the first Monday of each month on Radio AlHara at 5:30pm, Palestine time, 10:30am eastern time.

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from artist Emiddio Vasquez speaking on the current and historical dynamics on the ways that colonial forces, particularly the British, have used the territory of Cyprus for colonial and now neo-colonial transmissions projects. This interview speaks to a collective presentation and publication project that Emiddio worked on for the Cyprus pavilion at the Venice biennial in 2024 called "On a wildflower-lined gravel track off a quiet thoroughfare..." This project visits both this transmission history that addresses colonial dynamics and the scandal in Cyprus surrounding the presence of an Israeli government connected intelligence gathering operation discovered not far from the international airport in Cyprus.
