Description

A podcast about the poetics of sound and its power to disrupt norms and transform society. Each episode presents conversations with musicians, sound artists, visual artists and theatre-makers, with a special ear for postcolonial and/or queer sonic possibilities. Season 1 (Feb-April 2023) was launched for Black History Month with a focus on New York and Chicago. Season 2 (Sep-Oct 2023) features artists based in Berlin, Paris, and Yogyakarta. Season 3 showcased South African voices and sounds (Feb-March 2024) and Season 4 (May-July 2024) Polish artists, activists and curators. Our new season starting in January 2026 focuses on interventions in Germany by Black, African and Afro-diasporic artists. A project conceived by Dr. Layla Zami for the Collaborative Research Center Intervening Arts (SFB 1512 Intervenierende Künste) and the Performance Studies Department (Institut für Theaterwissenschaft) at Freie Universität Berlin. Special thanks: P&T Knitwear Bookstore and Podcast Studio, Blueprint Studio Johannesburg Co-produced by Eufoniker Audioproduktion
