Founder, Folkglory (folkglory.com)
Salua Qidan is a craft heritage researcher, curator and product designer, focused on the traditions of the Levant’s dressmaking and textiles.
Trained as an architect in Jordan in the mid 1990s, she started her career as cofounder of SYNTAX, a multidisciplinary design company in Amman, Jordan, where she specialized in book and exhibition design for art, culture and heritage projects.

A pivotal moment for her was the start of her collaboration in 2012 with Widad Kawar, the leading collector and authority on the heritage of Palestinian and Arab dressmaking, designing Kawar’s seminal book Threads of Identity.
In 2015 Salua became a founding team member of Tiraz — The Widad Kawar Home for Arab Dress, where she continues to serve as Creative Director. At Tiraz, Salua immersed herself in the knowledge gained from experts and scholarly sources and her numerous encounters with embroiderer women and other craft makers who are keeping the Levant’s fast-eroding traditions and techniques alive.
In 2020 Salua founded Folkglory, a project inspired by her heritage journey. Through Folkglory Salua designs contemporary products for heritage education and traditional craft enthusiasts. Blending original research, curation, documentation and product development, Folkglory aims at spreading the indigenous knowledge and skills embedded in the Levant’s rich dressmaking traditions to a global audience. Folkglory’s first collection of embroidery kits was launched in 2021.
Born in Germany to a Palestinian father and German mother, she moved to Amman aged 15, experiencing both a culture shock as a teenager, but also the beginning of a journey of understanding the roots of the Arab Palestinian and Jordanian side of her heritage. She lives and works in Amman. -

The third season of The Detour Podcast is finally out!
Continuing on the positive feedback I received on the previous seasons, I started inviting guests and recording back in December 2022.
I managed to use better cameras this season which enabled the editing process to go much smoother. Also, I managed to upgrade the mics and mic arms.Still, the production took a lot of time and I am hoping to use AI-powered editing tools for the 4th season next year to be more efficient! Maybe invite more than 6 guests, who knows. Also, i will get someone to help me out to be able to record myself better :-D
Enough of the geeky studio talk, you are here to watch/listen to the amazing stories this season's guests will share with us.To support this effort, please share the episodes you found personally inspiring with your friends.

Reef in Arabic means countryside, the fertile land, and also "Reef Alayn" is the part of the eye that protects it when it blinks. Symbols that reflect my passion for nature, learning from it and with it while observing its beauty. I was born and raised in Jordan, living and working in different areas around it, with having strong ties to where I live in this world. After spending a good time of my life in the academic institutions, private companies, and the NGO sector, I realized how much I don't know, and what I already know comes from institutions that feed into destroying the fabric of nature and communities. Eight years ago, I came together with Dina, a former colleague, and friend, to start Taghmees Social Kitchen, a homegrown learning medium. Taghmees in Arabic means to immerse, immerse in life and food as a way to bring people together. In Taghmees we question what enters our mind and body, be part in producing our meaning in this life rather than being just consumers. In Taghmees we use our own stories as a way of learning and reflect on our different life experiences.

My name is alma. I study graffiti. I used to be an artist. I want to become a pop singer (not really because I cannot sing or hold a tune, but I dream of the attention). I live with Rocca, the cat, and hoard plants (at present, I think i have 28). Razan is one of my best friends.
Here is a more formal academic biography:
alma khasawnih researches access to the street in post-colonial and settler-colonial nation-states as a site of understanding and articulating access to citizenship. alma’s research projects examine ephemeral visual culture production (graffiti, murals, and other forms of street/public art) as stand-alone material objects that orient, disorient, and reorient feminist debates on social political-cultural movements within urban geographies and the phenomenology of erasure, co-optation, and resistance. alma is invested in examining how urban beautification projects and cleansing public spaces are part of authoritarian visual culture and politics of respectability that aims at policing minoritized bodies in public spaces.
alma earned a Ph.D. in Feminist Studies from the University of Washington, Seattle; an M.A. in Community Art Education from Rhode Island School of Design, Providence; and a BS in Environmental Policy and Behavior from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
