Diasporic Soundscapes: The Urgency of Intangible Cultural Heritage

The conversation is facilitated by Raziyah Heath, an independent curator and DJ who uses Chinnamasta as a research tool. The lineup text names Henrique Silva of Tabanka Records, artist and art director Razeen Khattab, and sound researcher Bint Mbareh, so this sits squarely in diasporic music-archive territory.
