Ground, Ruins, and Reconstruction

Yara Sharif and Eyal Weizman speak with Markus Krieger, Daniel Kuhnert, and Melissa Makele about how the destruction of Gaza extends beyond buildings to encompass land, memory, and social relations. They discuss ruins as sites of political agency, reconstruction as a potential continuation of warfare, and the forms of repair, collective action, and spatial knowledge that preserve connections to place and make return possible.
