In the face of such devastation it often feels as though we’ve reached the limits of language, music and sound can transcend words and express all the unspoken nuances of feeling. Today’s show is centred on holding a sonic space for feelings of anti-colonial rage and deep mourning for Indigenous peoples of Palestine, hosted by Alicia Zhao. 

Episodes mentioned:
everything is connected  - with amby downs
sonic rituals  - with papaphilia 
poetic & material alchemy - with moor mother, lonnie holley
through the depths of sound and friendship - with divide and dissolve
