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 3: Ownership and Intellectual Property

This episode explores the complex and entangled questions around legal ownership of digital collections in the face of already contested physical collections. While Western IP systems are built around individual ownership, indigenous knowledge systems are designed to have communal and collective benefits. What limitations and dangers does this present in the context of mass digitisation? Who has the right to make digital copies in the first place? And how can we imagine legal ownership outside Western-oriented frameworks?

Speakers: Nothando Migogo, Molemo Moiloa, Chao T. Maina, Andrea Wallace, Mulenga Kapwepwe
