Past Talks (Library) — afikra | عفكرة

Welcome to the afikra Library

Since 2014, we have created a digital archive of all afikra content and made it free to browse and explore. This collection represents our community’s collective exploration of the histories & cultures of the Arab world. Please note that all community presenters are not experts in the topic they are presenting on, but rather curious to explore and dedicated enough to do the research and share it with the rest of the community.
