The fifth season of our podcast Sonic Interventions, curated and hosted by Jan Dammel (research project B05), revolves around artistic interventions in Berlin and other cities in Germany that critically engage, amongst other topics, with colonialism and its ongoing legacies.The season is comprised of conversations with artists and curators, first and foremost Black, African and Afro-diasporic artists and curators, who intervene into society through audio walks, exhibitions and installations in which sound is either the primary medium or one medium amongst many.

The first episode “Fabrics of Change” 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 as part of the larger exhibition “Dekoloniale – what remains?!”. 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, transform post/colonial (church) spaces.

Three episodes of this season will be in English and one in German. Enjoy listening!
