On the April 2026 edition of Cultural workers for Palestine we hear about The Lost Paintings Project with two of the project co-curators, Jolle Tomb and Haidi Motola. The project is described this way: "The Lost Paintings, a Prelude to Return is an imagined recreation of the last exhibition held in Palestine by Palestinian-Lebanese artist Maroun Tomb, which opened on November 29, 1947 in Haifa. The 1947 opening coincided with the very day in which the UN approved the Partition Plan of Palestine, igniting the war and events that will later become known as the Nakba, Arabic for catastrophe, and during which, some 750,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homeland. Shortly after the opening, Tomb and his family were, too, forced into exile and never allowed to return to their homes. The fate of the 53 oil paintings presented in the exhibition, as well as most of Tomb's pre-1948 body of work, was lost to the war and its pillage. " Learn more about the project here: www.thelostpaintings.com/about-1 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 author and educator Max Haiven speaking on the book : Revenge Capitalism The Ghosts of Empire, the Demons of Capital, and the Settling of Unpayable Debts. The book is described this way: "Capitalism is in a profound state of crisis. Beyond the mere dispassionate cruelty of ‘ordinary' structural violence, it appears today as a global system bent on reckless economic revenge; its expression found in mass incarceration, climate chaos, unpayable debt, pharmaceutical violence and the relentless degradation of common life. In Revenge Capitalism, Max Haiven argues that this economic vengeance helps us explain the culture and politics of revenge we see in society more broadly. Moving from the history of colonialism and its continuing effects today, he examines the opioid crisis in the US, the growth of ‘surplus populations' worldwide and unpacks the central paradigm of unpayable debts – both as reparations owed, and as a methodology of oppression." https://www.plutobooks.com/product/revenge-capitalism This interview program is supported in 2025 by the Social Justice Centre at Concordia University.
