Unburied S1E2: Voices from the Graves
Manage episode 489355558 series 1150767
Inside an archive in Vienna, the grooves of old wax cylinders hold forgotten voices. These are the sonic remains of Rudolf Pöch’s expedition to the Kalahari in the early 1900s.
In this episode, we follow the distorted “language samples” Pöch left behind and the people whose lives — and deaths — they documented. From the field expertise of Xhosi Tshai to the frustrated warnings of Kxara the Elder, we finally get a glimpse into a perspective other than the anthropologist’s.
With historian Anette Hoffmann, we confront the limits of colonial archives by paying attention to the echoes.
Unburied is a production by ARC in partnership with Iziko Museums of South Africa.
Written, produced and sound designed by Rasmus Bitsch and Neil Liddell.
