DiEM25 – Details, episodes & analysis

The Iran war isn't just a Middle East story: it's landing on Europe right now, in energy bills, in supply chains, in political calculations from Berlin to Rome. And the questions most people are asking aren't being answered clearly anywhere.

How exposed are we in Europe really, and why? Who gets hit hardest? What will this crisis do to European politics as elections approach — and how will people express their anger?

In this livestream, Wolfgang Munchau joins Yanis Varoufakis and Mehran Khalili for a live conversation that goes beyond the headlines: what's actually happening, what it means for ordinary people across Europe, and what — if anything — can still be done.

In this livestream, Yanis Varoufakis and Ukrainian sociologist Volodymyr Ishchenko explore how EU leaders are undermining Ukraine to justify their plans to re-arm Europe. If EU leaders won't send troops and won't negotiate, whom does their "solidarity" really serve? And why are some in Brussels worried that peace itself would threaten their new militarisation agenda?

Join us for this crucial conversation on the future of Ukraine, the geopolitics of the Trump plan, and what a real path to peace would require. Hosted by Mehran Khalili.

"There is no alternative", "it's the end of history" in the shadow of the 2008 crash, the environmental crisis and ongoing COVID19 pandemic, never has the hubris of these words been more striking. Nevertheless if we are in fact at the end of an era, what comes next?

Join us in uncovering the exciting possibilities that the future can hold with Noam Chomsky, Ann Pettifor and Yanis Varoufakis.

Putin's invasion of Ukraine has led to international outcry from governments worldwide. Economic sanctions have been imposed and further measures are being considered. Meanwhile, in the West, a backlash is taking place against Russian culture, and people of Russian origin are facing discrimination. Can this reaction be justified by Putin's criminal invasion?

February 24 will be remembered as a dark day for Europe: Russia has attacked Ukraine. The geopolitical games between Putin and NATO have led to war, and Europe's peoples are the great losers, as the EU has, once again, proven itself powerless and irrelevant. Given this situation, what needs to happen for this war to end? And what role should the EU play?

In this episode, artist Manal Mahamid reflects on growing up in a rural Palestinian village where even the landscape was weaponised to erase identity. She speaks about creating art from the land itself, soil, stones, plants, and how her work exposes the colonial logic behind forests, monuments, and "reclaimed" green spaces. Mahamid's practice transforms memory, displacement, and resistance into a visual language rooted in place.

In this episode, artist Doris Hakim reflects on growing up in Nazareth, navigating a fragmented identity, and discovering her Palestinian self only after leaving home. She speaks about memory, political erasure, and the everyday racism that shaped her iconic work 'You Don't Look Arab'. Hakim's story exposes how borders—geographical, cultural, and psychological—leave traces that art can finally name.
