The Access For who? Podcast hosted by Chao Tayiana Maina and Molemo Moiloa is a five-part mini-series that looks to begin a conversation on the digitisation of African heritage. While digitisation is often considered a strategy for future-oriented safe keeping, distribution and greater engagement, they ask - for who? And for what purposes? And are we making decisions about digitisation that ensure these objectives are met in ethical, equitable ways?

Episode 1: Digital From An African Perspective

In this episode, we begin by reflecting on the opportunities that digital technology presents for African societies while confronting the inequalities and biases it entrenches. We explore notions of digital access and digital neutrality in the context of African languages, histories and knowledge systems as we reflect on what it means to create equitable digital futures within and outside museum spaces.

This podcast is brought to you by the Open Restitution Africa project, a collaboration between African Digital Heritage and Andani.Africa. It is made possible with the Stiftung Humboldt Forum im Berliner Schloss as part of the 99 Questions Podcast.

Speakers: Temi Odumosu, Molemo Moiloa, Kọ́lá Túbọ̀sún, Mulenga Kapwepwe, Neema Iyer, Chao T. Maina
