About this listen

 This podcast series has been made possible through the generous funding by Reshape: Wikimedia. We are also very grateful to the careful editing of the series by Max Rocco Stroux. The aim of the podcast series is to archive the accounts of the challenging journeys of sub-Saharan Africans, their everyday experiences with bureaucracy and racialisation in Germany as well as to document their resilience. We would like to make the voices of the survivors from sub-Saharan Africa visible as the media only reports on those who have disappeared, and the survivors remain invisible.
