<p>This episode features a conversation between Dr. Yannis Hamilakis and Dr. Naor Ben-Yehohada about Moria, once the largest refugee camp in Europe until it was completely destroyed by a fire in September 2020. Dr. Hamilakis had been researching, experiencing, and witnessing the materiality of contemporary migration on Lesvos, the Greek island where <em>Moria</em> was located, since 2016. And, in the aftermath of its destruction, he convened a cohort of archaeologists, social anthropologists, activists, teachers, and authors with direct connections to and experiences of <em>Moria</em> to reflect on what the place meant to them and possible directions for the future. These contributions came together in the form of a multimodal portfolio, “What Was <em>Moria </em>and What Comes Next?” comprising research and photo essays, ethnographic fiction, first-person accounts, lyrical prose, illustration, and more. Dr. Hamilakis’s introduction to the collection, was published in the February 2022 issue of <em>American Anthropologist</em> and the entirety of the collection is available open-access on the journal’s website. To round out the multimodal scope of this project, this episode contributes an oral and aural dimension to the reflections to “What <em>Moria </em>and What Comes Next?”</p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://www.americananthropologist.org/podcasthttps://www.americananthropologist.org/podcast/https://www.americananthropologist.org/podcast/https://www.americananthropologist.org/podcast/season-05-episode-02-what-was-moria-and-what-comes-next" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Episode Transcript</a></p> <p><a href=" https://youtu.be/R2PkGCg1saY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Closed-Captioning</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://www.americananthropologist.org/online-content/moria?rq=Moria" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">What Was Moria and What Comes Next?</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Credits:</p> <p>Producer: Anar Parikh<br>Executive Producer - Anar Parikh Featured Music: &quot;Vertigo feat.
