The Power of Storytelling

In this episode, Anna chats with visual artist Shiraz Bayjoo, pop-up creator Zolitha Magengelele, and anthropologist Mythri Jegathesan about the power of sharing space, how nostalgic memories often carry the scars of colonisation and how understanding those contradictions can help us better understand what we’re truly nostalgic for. This episode also sees how pepper has a different identity in different places or cuisines, and is all about the art and power of storytelling and how it connects us and can create a better world.
