  • Summary

  • 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 4: African Data Futures
    Jul 28 2022

    As we move towards the end of the series we ask - How can we build a sustainable digital infrastructure that is people-centred and Africa centred? We reflect on indigenous data sovereignty, data stewardship and creative strategies toward collective care for digital data. Positing that digital collections are not a point of reversal to an idealized past but rather a point of departure toward a collectively imagined future. 

    Speakers: Angela Okune, Temi Odumosu, Minne Atairu, Andrea Wallace, Molemo Moiloa, Neema Iyer, Chao T. Maina

  • Episode 3: Ownership and Intellectual Property

    Episode 3: Ownership and Intellectual Property
    Jul 21 2022

    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
