Afro Historyscapes is a ten-episode podcast series that gives a fresh perspective on African history. We tell the story of African Histories through objects at the Horniman Museum and Gardens in South London.
The podcast has been developed alongside our Community Action Research project and shares the research of our curators, project team and Community Action Researchers.
The overarching theme of the series is movement with three episodes each featuring Trade, Religion and Technology. We also feature a special episode hosted by Sherry Davis, a Community Researcher, musician and filmmaker.
We tell the sorts of stories about the objects in our collections that answer questions you didn’t know who to ask. At 10-15 minutes each they are perfect to enjoy over a cup of your favourite hot drink.
