About this listen

Chambered Nautilus – words in your ear.

It's said that if you hold a conch shell to your ear, you will hear the ocean. But it’s not a memory of the ocean that the conch shell contains, it's the vitality of ambient sound as it moves through the shell’s multiple chambers. Conversely, the conch shell is a horn.

Chambered Nautilus brings voice to what matters in words that resonate in 10-minute podcasts. We feature poetry, flash fiction, rap, lyrics, unexpected moments, satire, verbal pictures lyrically documenting how we live and who we are.

  • Roi Kwabena's DEEP OBEAH
    Apr 4 2022

    Celebrating the memory of the author of Deep Obeah, Dr. Roi Kwabena.

    He was a cultural anthropologist, but not an academic. His work was done entirely outside of the walls of academia, a form of cultural activism that inspired others who—even without a degree in anthropology—began to call themselves anthropologists nonetheless. He was an artist, a musician, a poet, a teacher, an essayist, a researcher, a publisher, and for a while a politician as well. What distinguishes Roi Kwabena ....was his combination of art and analysis, culture and politics, publication and public engagement, in the service of a committed critique of imperialism and neo-colonialism. A man from “the periphery,” he operated across the periphery and the centre. ---Professor Maximilian C. Forte from Zero Anthropology

    My thanks to Professor Maximilian Forte for permission to share Dr. Kwabena's words and music, they are powerful.
