Episode 4– Building Shalom/Salam: Experiences of Nonviolent Resistance Between Palestinians and Israelis

In this episode we address the experiences of nonviolent resistance that, from different territories and communities, build bridges of dialogue between Palestinians and Israelis in the midst of one of the most complex and prolonged conflicts in the world.

Episode 3 – Macro-criminality and non-violence: disputing territory without violence

We spoke with Luis Daniel Vázquez Valencia about macro-criminality: networks that organize territory through violence. What nonviolent responses are possible to sustain life and challenge this order?

Episode 2– Griots: the word that holds                                                                                        

Can a city be told through its unwritten stories? They are sung. In West Africa, griots use words, music, and memory to mediate conflicts and keep the community together. In this episode, María Gabriela Mata introduces us to this tradition and a key idea: that power can also sustain, not just impose.

Episode 1 – Faith in action: nonviolent contributions from faith communities in our region

In this episode, we speak with Víctor Rey about the nonviolent practices, experiences, and contributions emerging from different parts of our region, where faith translates into concrete actions against inequality, violence, and exclusion. It’s an invitation to consider spirituality as an ethical commitment and collective action.
