« When I’m in Switzerland and people don’t want to see how white supremacy functions, I am like: you know, maybe your country didn’t have colonies in a formal sense, but you were essential actors in enabling other colonial actors to do the dirty work basically. So, I think seeing yourself as the desk managers and the insurance officers of colonialism is something that needs to be contended with as an aspect of white supremacy here.»
Rashayla Marie Brown in conversation with Noémi Michel
The ten-episode podcast programme was made possible thanks to the generous support of Pro Helvetia and the Swiss Foundation for Radio and Culture (FSRC), in collaboration with Radio 40 and researcher and art historian Noémi Michel.
