A Thousand Channels
Episode Five
This episode departs from the forest as a space of continuous noise and mutual growth, inducing conflictive plays between sustenance and decay. The story of a mysterious tree in Palestine is heard from London amid a genocidal present; the struggles for the Tsou Nation are sung out via one man’s compositions in the mountains of southern Taiwan, while a spoken word-scape crosses the border zones between Europe and Africa via migrant interviews and the liberation writings of Amilcar Cabral. Alongside, an exchange about analogue forestry in Beregala–Belipola and a ceremonial mixtape inspired by dandelions.
