Episode Synopsis

On this episode of Trains of Thought, Jephte Joseph explores pilgrimage as more than a journey and sits down with Andrew Jackson. A search for solace in spaces once sustained by determination, moulded to help us face reality, yet haunted by the urge to relive a past grown blurry. What happens when the place we seek slips away, leaving us scattered and returning only to fragments? In those fragments, we find not wholeness, but traces that remind us some returns can never be complete, yet still shape how we carry the past
within us.

Pilgrimage in a Fragmented Space delves into these themes, inspired by the stories of Black sleeping car porters, revealing the layers of immigrant life, displacement, (fractured) Black communities, and expropriation.
