Diasporic Perspectives. Unlearning Imperial Histories with Libyan and Italian artists.

Diasporic Perspectives is a series of conversations with artists from Italy and Libya and their perspectives on Coloniality, Archive, Heritage and Translation. It is a project by Dr Barbara Spadaro, Lecturer in Italian History and Culture at the University of Liverpool (UK), inspired by Ariella Aisha Azoulay’s book ‘Potential History: Unlearning Imperialism’. Each episode of the podcast is an interview with one artist about the artwork, ideas and questions explored in their practice. Each conversation reveals different perspectives on the past, present, and potential futures of these memories.
