The power of oral history and storytelling

In this short fragment from our podcast series ‘Banda & Beyond’, linguist Dr. Aone van Engelenhoven stresses the importance of incorporating indigenous knowledges and oral history, not as a "nice-to-have diverse perspective”, but as a crucial part of understanding cultural heritage beyond the Modernist/Colonial gaze.

Through our own short stories, we want to take you with us and share the stories behind walls. And invite you to be a part of our journey.
