Out now: Podcast on Materiality
With Carine Ayélé Durand
What can be gained from discussing Materiality, as opposed to simply talking about objects? This episode, On Materiality, examines what it means to engage with objects, substances, and textures. We contemplate the more profound implications of our relationship with things, how we can think through them, and how this connects to the work of political imagination. Our guest, Carine Ayélé Durand, is Director of Musée d'Ethnographie, Genève, whose curatorial and academic work involves collaborations with indigenous groups in the Arctic, the Brazilian Amazon and Canada to rethink engagements with material culture, visual arts, and museum exhibitions.
