Episode 3: African Mobilities

GoetheStories 3 AMO — © Goethe-Institut Johannesburg

For our third installment, we are continuing with our remote podcast series which is recorded completely digitally due to the ongoing lockdown and Covid-19 response.

In the latest episode of the GoetheStories podcast, we are having a conversation about African Mobilities. Host Sound of Xee speaks with Dr Mpho Matsipa founder of African Mobilities. The conversation covers spatial planning practices from pre-colonial times to the current neo-liberal dispensation; and considers how this has impacted on the black experience and bodies. More importantly, it explores imagining other ways of being, for black people of the continent and diaspora. A truly insightful conversation.
