Wayfinding: Privacy
with Jenny Zhang and Parker Higgins
Wayfinding is a series of conversations about navigating the tensions of tech in modern life.

🎥 Movie Night: They Were Promised the Sea (2013)
Hosted by our friend Muhannad.
Join us for an evening to watch They Were Promised the Sea (2013) following by discussion with film maker Kathy Wazana.
This documentary journeys through Morocco, Israel, Palestine, and New York to explore Arab-Jewish identity, memory, and political separation. Sparked by Wazana’s research into her Moroccan-Jewish family history, the film examines how communities that lived together for centuries were divided through political maneuvering, while highlighting voices that resisted this rupture. Anchored by a haunting Andalusian and Sephardic score in Arabic, Hebrew, and Ladino, the film offers a reflective and challenging meditation on homeland, exile, and the possibilities of shared futures.
Watch trailer.
