22. From Sápmi to Palestine with Salem Barahmeh

On today's episode of Kalam Podcast Edgar speaks with the founder of Uncivilized Media, Salem Barahmeh. Uncivilized is a channel that tells stories about people and places that are unrepresented, silenced or erased. Very similar to what we do here at Kalam Podcast.

Edgar first met Salem on a cold, rainy day in Stockholm several years ago. At the time, he was working with PIPD, the Palestinian Institute for Public Diplomacy. He was traveling the Western World, lobbying for the Palestinian cause with politicians, diplomats and grassroots organisers.

Since then he has pivoted into storytelling and political education, catering largely to the masses on social media. And he’s been very successful. We’ll get back to Salem Barahmeh and his storytelling that connects stories of struggle from Northern Sweden to Palestine to Taiwan.
