A dervish embraces death before death, sheds selfhood, and bows to the mystic's immortality. A freedom fighter, too, dies before death. Relinquishing the ego to be subsumed by the vast and nebulous unity of resistance, forsaking personal desire to dedicate the soul entirely to humanity. They surrender to the collective and its symbols, weaving their souls into the existence of all peoples, and patiently reflecting the moral sovereignty of the soul.

Chantal Khoury invites Muriel Ahmarani Jaouich, Manel Benchabane, Hoda Adra, and Rihab Essayh to discuss their differences rather than similarities. This conversation among artists, peers, and friends, all tied to Tiohtià:ke - Mooniyang - Montreal, stems from Khoury’s ongoing desire to engage with SWANA communities while breaking hierarchies of knowledge.
