The History of Waves of Solidarity

A Talk and discussion with May Taha. How does sound register a different story of anti-colonial resistance? Perhaps sound draws another map onto history. Mirroring the shape of sound waves, this audiovisual dialogue travels across borders, tracing the movement of those same waves. The sonic path of anti-colonial history draws new maps of solidarity that extend beyond national borders and engage with the politics of internationalism. This is what makes sound so significant, and what made radio a pivotal tool for anti-colonial movements: sound waves built new relationships of solidarity that could not be confined within colonial borders.
