Vessels & Voyages, Episode 1 of Uncontainable Collections: Speculative Futures of Objects

This podcast features some discussion of the Transatlantic slave trade and violence against women. Vessels & Voyages, from AGYU’s series Uncontainable Collections: Speculative Futures of Objects, is the first of three conversations exploring the prospective and yet-unknown condition of the might-be through the lens of collections and contemporary art. This episode features the perspective of three critical scholars and artists, including Yvonne Adhiambo-Owuor, Ayana V. Jackson, and Camille Turner. They explore the theme of moving objects and peoples across multiple futures: stories within stories; the sea; floating objects; and shipwrecks as containers of memory, history, and spirits.
