About this episode
Mohammed Omer Almoghayer discusses the beauty and resilience of Gaza with researcher Kjersti G. Berg amidst the backdrop of war.
In the opening scene of his book On the Pleasures of Living in Gaza, journalist and author Mohammed Omer Almoghayer describes the joy of seeing the postman arrive with the latest edition of the Norwegian newspaper Morgenbladet, where Omer was a columnist for many years. The idea behind the book was precisely to depict everything that is great, good and beautiful in Gaza, and despite the latest war, which started after his book project was well underway, Omer has wanted to keep this title. But is it possible? Omer meets researcher Kjersti G. Berg for a conversation about community, family ties, festivals and leisure among a people with extreme resilience. Can faith and hope survive this war too? The conversation is in English.
