Podcasts

These dialogues, hosted and produced by Prof Christo Doherty, head of the Arts Research Africa project, are intended to stimulate practice, enable research, and inspire collective engagement around the question of Arts Research in Africa. 

With technical production by Elna Shutz these podcasts seek to develop a dialogue with both national and international practices and debates over the meaning and implications of artistic research.

The ARA podcasts are hosted by Iono.fm and are available on all the major podcast distributions: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher; Google Podcasts etc. Just search for "arts research africa" to reach the ARA channel.
