Episode Synopsis "Borealis Samtale Episode 1: Elaine Mitchener & Temi Odumosu"

Borealis: Samtale is a new podcast exploring the conversation archives of Borealis – a festival for experimental music in Bergen, Norway. This episode features a conversation between British performer Elaine Mitchener and Dr. Temi Odumosu, Senior Lecturer in Cultural Studies at Malmö University in Sweden following the Scandinavian premiere of Elaine's work SWEET TOOTH. They discuss how music can relate to the history of the international enslavement trade, and the way art can function to evoke and heal this trauma. SWEET TOOTH is a work devised by Mitchener, a British performer of Caribbean descent, which viscerally evokes through sound and movement the impact of the global sugar trade on enslaved African peoples. Having performed the work to great acclaim in the UK, in March 2020, Borealis hosted the Scandinavian premiere of the work.
