dignity, justice, and self-determination in the Caribbean. Rooted in a convivial spirit of creative
resistance and collective healing, each guest shares insights into the region’s lasting legacies of

The Crucible Of Modernity

Chantelle and Kelechi interview Lennon Mhishi about  the ‘Re-connecting "Objects’ project at the Pitt Rivers Mueseum (University of Oxford). We explore the functioning of museums as ‘containers’, consisting of colonial collections as products of violence, extraction and dispossession.

Summary:In this series we introduce the work of researchers from the Black Health and the Humanities Network. Each episode uncovers the different ways that racist environments impact the health of Black African and Caribbean people.  Expect conversation centred around resistance creativity and imaginative futures.  
The Black Health and the Humanities network emerged in part from the crisis caused by 2020’s global Covid-19 pandemic, the transnational Black Lives Matter movement, and the intersections between racism and health inequalities that, although not new, these events highlighted.
