Waystations
Waystations is a series for those looking to understand what it means to be human in the modern age. We talk about: art, culture, education, history and religion. In each episode, hosts Walead Mosaad and Rehan Khan explore the ideas and themes that are shaping human thought and practice in these areas. Waystations celebrates the pursuit of living life as a journey, treading softly upon the earth and offering other wayfarers a place of respite from the rigours of the road.
