Sonic Interventions

Hörspielmacher:in Joel Vogel und Musiker Vincent Bababoutilabo sprechen über gemeinsame Projekte wie ihren dekolonialen Hörspaziergang zurückERZÄHLT (2020), der Akte des Widerstands von 106 Personen aus den damaligen ‚deutschen Kolonien‘, die im Sommer 1896 im Berliner Treptower Park arbeiteten und lebten, ins Zentrum stellt. Sie berichten von ihrem Umgang mit dem (kolonialen) Archiv, von der Möglichkeit mit Sound gewaltvolle Geschichte anders zu erzählen und davon, wie ihr Audiowalk seit fünf Jahren Menschen versammelt.

Season 5, curated by Jan Dammel, focuses on artistic interventions in Germany that deal with colonialism and its ongoing legacies. This first episode features multi-disciplinary artist Percy Nii Nortey and curator Nadja Ofuatey-Alazard, who collaborated on the group exhibition “Colonial Ghosts – Resistant Spirits” in Berlin’s St. Nicholas Church. Learn more about Nortey’s dialogue with, and celebration of, the working class in Ghana and how bold fabric and sonic artworks, also by Theresa Weber, challenge and transform post/colonial (church) spaces.

In the last episode of this season, Adriana Raczykowski is in conversation with Polish artist and curator Patrycja Rozwora, who founded the Kitchen Conversations Podcast. Patrycja talks about her podcast practice and Eastern European and Central Asian narration in the arts.

Mala Herba and dogheadsurigeri from the Oramics collective meet with Adriana Raczykowski to talk about the politics of the dance floor and sonic spaces curation. Guided by the motto “Your periphery is our center”, they address Western hegemony in contemporary electronic subcultures.
