In the final episode of Lifelines, I’m joined by my friends, Hadeel Assali and Hadi Awada. This episode features lessons from the plantcestor olive and what microorganisms can teach us about transformation and restoring life to the land. We continue our exploration of the possibilities of repair and remediation when the wounding to land, water, and people is ongoing, and we share stories from Gaza and Lebanon of how mutual aid reforms and changes our social relations and can be a joy practice.
