<p>In this episode of the Framer Framed podcast, we have an in-depth conversation with Golrokh Nafisi and Ahmadali Kadivar, the writers of the graphic novel <em>Walvistraan: A Love Story in A Time of Extinction and Isolation</em>. The novel intricately weaves the history of the Molenwijk area in Amsterdam-Noord, exploring themes of industrialization, environmental impact, and community resilience through the lives of fictional mole and whale families. Nafisi and Kadivar share their creative process, discuss the rich historical context of their work, and reflect on how their personal experiences and artistic collaboration have shaped this narrative.</p>
