Author | A seventh generation descendent of family who lived in Sefad, Israel, the city where mystical scholars of the Kabbalah found refuge in the 16th Century; Nili Portugali is an architect, filmmaker and author. We discuss her film “And the Alley She Whitewashed in Light Blue”, a stunning, poetic, visual masterpiece of the seasonal rituals in her Grandmother Rivka’s hotel, at the end of an alley in that old city.

| 1/25/23 | ![]() SHARING SACRED LAND | SULAIMAN KHATIB | Sulaiman Khatib grew up in a small Palestinian village, on the outskirts of Jerusalem. At the age of 14, he and his friend received long jail sentences for stabbing and injuring two Israeli soldiers. In the jail library he studied the history of the Jewish people, and began to understand that there were equally compelling narratives to both sides.

| 6/14/22 | ![]() THE FIELD OF DECONSTRUCTION, RESISTANCE AND DISCOURSE: A German Legacy Response _ DAGMAR RICHTER | Architect and Educator | Born in Germany, post World War II, as part of the generation with the ‘grace of late births’, Dagmar Richter describes the impact of that context and time on her work, identity and places she has since lived. She talks about engagement and discourse in her work as an architect and educator, as the necessary antithesis of the wall of silence she experienced when young. Her work deconstructs, exposes and reveals what is often uncomfortable, or what she calls ‘not smooth’. | 48m 36s | ||||||

For this candidacy, she leads with an approach of ‘care’, informed by her deep connection and understanding of the place she has lived most of her life and its complex politics.

| 4/3/22 | ![]() IF YOU VISIT MY HOME YOU WILL KNOW ME | The Home Visit | SARAH LEIBOWITS, Educator | Imagine a radical school curriculum where 4 and 5 year old children are required to visit the homes of every student in the class. I speak with Sarah Leibowits, a lower school educator at the Manhattan Country School in New York, who has taken her class on these very home visits for 20 years. Established as a 'private school with a public mission’, lessons at the school from kindergarten through 8th grade, are built on the celebration of unique difference. | 38m 04s | ||||||

| 6/13/21 | ![]() MOTHER TONGUE | Felema Yemaneberhan | Architectural Designer | ‘Mother Tongue’. What does it mean? Is it the spoken language of home, the language of parents, ancestors, and country of origin? Is the language of place, a rooted connection to heritage, tradition, people, music, rituals, religion? The DNA of a particular ethnic experience? ‘Mother Tongue’ merges the past and present, a sometimes invisible gift of identity, particularly when displaced in another land. Felema Yemaneberhan grew up in Los Angeles, but throughout her childhood she w... | 28m 36s | ||||||

| 5/16/21 | ![]() HOME 'ON STAGE': LORI KIRSTEIN Actor | Singer | Author | Entrepreneur | As a child, Lori felt most at home sitting and napping under her mother’s baby grand piano. She says, when her mother played, ‘the notes rained down on me, and became a part of my flesh’. A multi-talented force herself, Lori experienced a period of homelessness, which has shaped her creative process. When Lori speaks about home, she speaks about the ‘molten lava of truth’, rather than rigid structure. Home, in the most positive and present sense, is not ‘Pleasantville’. We speak about f... | 18m 30s | ||||||

| 4/4/21 | ![]() ONE YEAR IN: COLLEGE 'QUARANTINE' | Talking with College Students | It is one year into the pandemic. Colleges closed their doors in March of 2020. Students weighed their decisions about how and where they would continue to learn. Where are our students now? What are the impacts, and unexpected lessons that they have learned?

| 3/7/21 | ![]() HOUSE CALL! ANN ACHESON: BELONGING TO EARTH, PLACE AND SELF | CREATING A HOME AT THE FRIED EGG | She thought she was nomad. New to to this town, she experienced serendipitous events, meetings with eccentric creatives, and a deep curiosity about the land.

| 2/21/21 | ![]() JERRY ROBACK: PLACES OF RISK | PLACES OF SERVICE | What does it mean to live on the edge? Jerry Roback is most comfortable describing himself as a wild man, a humanitarian adventurer, a self appointed and fearless, grass roots citizen of compassionate service.

| 1/24/21 | ![]() YI FU TUAN: A SENSE OF DIRECTION | In the week of his 90th Birthday, I spoke to Yi Fu Tuan, a Chinese scholar and philosopher. He invented the phrase ‘humanist geography’ as a way to explore "how geography reveals the quality of awareness’.

With simple personal stories and observations, we are led us into his world. | 28m 20s | ||||||
| 1/10/21 | ![]() MARIA AMIDU: THIS UN-BELONGING BELONGS TO ME | We speak with Maria Amidu, an artist, whose work explores the relationship between people and place, and what is hidden, obscured or unspoken, a clarion voice of the common experience. She unmasks the ignored, mutable stories of migration, un-belonging, and remembering - what it means to be anchored while simultaneously erased. She asks, "what part of the other's story belongs to us"? | 26m 38s | ||||||
| 10/5/20 | ![]() WHAT IS WHEREING ABOUT? | WHEREING explores ‘where we are’. Like clothing, we are ‘WHEREING’ (wear-ing) our spaces. Hosted by architect/designer/professor Nina Freedman, these are mindful conversations about BELONGING, SPACE AND DESIGN. Where Are You? is a basic existential question. Where do you belong? Where are you most yourself? Where is home? Does home witness you? Your soul is an intimate, soft witness to places in your memory, and the stories that unfold to curate the arc of your... | 2m 45s | ||||||
