Welcome to the media majlis museum Podcast powered by afikra, a series where we explore the intersection of language, culture, and identity, inspired by the exhibition "The limits of my language are the limits of my world" at the media majlis museum at Northwestern University in Qatar.
The media majlis museum at Northwestern University in Qatar is the first media museum in the Arab world. It is dedicated to exploring journalism, communication and media. Through exhibitions, publications, programs and online resources we engage with themes that connect audiences to an ever-changing media landscape. The mm:museum's exhibition space uses digital technologies to challenge standard narratives and provide 360-degree views on global, regional and local stories, aspiring to represent the diversity of voices, perspectives, events and people that contributes to the evolving media world that surrounds and affects us all.
In season one, we dive into the Arabic language — a language spoken by over 400 million people but that’s constantly evolving under the pressures of globalization. Through engaging conversations with experts, artists, and cultural figures, we explore how Arabic unites and divides, empowers and limits, and how its complexity influences the cultural landscape of the Arab world and beyond.
Join us as we uncover the rich history, politics, and nuances of Arabic, revealing the stories behind its words, its impact on global cultures, and the challenges it faces today. Whether you're a native speaker or simply curious about the power of language, this podcast offers a unique perspective on the ongoing journey to preserve and celebrate one of the world's most influential languages.

Becoming an Arab Meme | Laure Assaf & Hamad Al-Amari Live in Doha
We bring you the live recording of a panel we moderated at the media majlis museum in Doha this month. We delve into the history of memes in the Arab world with anthropologist Laure Assaf and Qatari comedian Hamad Al-Amari, where they explore their cultural significance, evolution, and impact on society. They address how memes merge cultural consumption and production, challenging orientalist tropes about Arab societies, and serving as a powerful tool for humor, satire, and political expression. Our panelists share insights into the mechanisms of virality, the role of different social media platforms, and the unique characteristics of Arab meme culture, from the Gamboo3a phenomenon to personal experiences of becoming a meme.
