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 2: Digital Collections (Part I)

This episode takes a deep dive into the origins of museum practice and the colonial origins of museum collections. How did Western museums end up amassing hundreds of thousands of objects? How does this legacy influence digitisation today? We explore ways in which African museum practitioners are going beyond these entrenched legacies to create innovative approaches that centre indigenous knowledge and prioritize people over objects.

Speakers: Temi Odumosu, Molemo Moiloa, Golda Ha-Eiros, Samba Yonga, Mulenga Kapwepwe, Chao T. Maina
