You thought group projects in school were tricky? Try writing a telenovela with 900 collaborators!
In this episode we talk with visual anthropologist Gina Knapp about how she worked together with villagers in highland Papua New Guinea to create a show that blended fiction with reality to tell some truths about their life. Using a collaborative process both challenging and therapeutic, "A Slice of Life" drew from over 100 hours of footage in Gina's personal archive as well as newly shot scenes acted by the villagers themselves. The group hopes to continue the series, and is looking for donations to help them shoot another nine episodes.

And contact Gina if you're ready to donate!

If you don't know the Orion, what are you waiting for? You're missing out on a hot trend (of the summer of 1963 in East Germany)!
In our first episode, we explored the story of the Lipsi, a new dance East Germans created in 1958 to compete with Western trends. In this episode, we continue the story by exploring the Orion, the GDR's answer to the twist, as well as some other experiments in international socialist choreographies of the 1960s. Lions and tigers and Orion - Oh my!

European colonists derided them as "headhunters." Christian missionaries forbade them from practicing traditional music and dance. The Indian army continues to target them. But the Naga people of northeast India are still there. In this episode we talk with Senti Toy, a New York-based Naga ethnomusicologist and musician, about how she created the sound exhibit "I will not weep" for the Humboldt-Forum. What does cultural survival sound like in Nagaland today? What can songs tell us about Naga history and resistance?

How should socialist youth dance? How can social dance be more socialist? These questions may not be keeping YOU up at night, but things might look differently if you were an East German cultural functionary!
In this episode, we go into the story of the Lipsi, a new dance East Germans created in 1958 to compete with Western trends. We also talk about how the Second World Music project came about, the process of reconstructing dances from archival materials, and how people have reacted to the Lipsi - both back then and at present.
