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.

Accepting Linguistic Variety in Publishing Arabic | Enam Al-Wer and Omar Thawabeh
We organized a full-day symposium (October 26, 2024) with the mm:museum as part of their exhibition "The limits of my language are the limits of my world" at Northwestern Qatar this year. Three panel discussions took place which we are bringing you in three episodes on their podcast. This is the last one in the three in which we explore the history and vernaculars of Arabic, the state of Arabic publishing, and the role of translation in it all. Host Layan Abdul Shakoor highlights the challenges of publishing practices and guests Dr Enam Al-Wer and Omar Thawabeh share (respectively) their insights on linguistic variations and evolutions, and on the intricacies of translating between Arabic dialects. The panel also addresses the need for re-standardization of Arabic, overcoming barriers in the publishing industry, and fostering a love for the Arabic language among younger generations.
