Let us take you way, way back to ancient cities like Tunis, Marrakech, and Fez where medinas (Arabic for city or town) were fortified cities built by locals to defend themselves from invaders. When the fortifications didn’t work and colonists like the French descended on these North African cities, those colonists were happy to separate themselves from the locals. They stood as a physical dividing line between the colonizers and the citizens. For those on the inside, the medina offered protection and safety. But the high walls of the medina also provided the freedom for people to take down their walls and let their proverbial hair down, revealing their true nature. Sometimes benevolent, sometimes nefarious. Most of the time, it was impossible to tell the difference.
But the magic of the medina was that it didn’t matter. Along its hidden passageways and inside its crowded markets were misfits and monsters; entrepreneurs and carpetbaggers; dreamers and the desperate; those with hope and those for whom there was no hope left. The medina saw it all and welcomed everyone just the same.
