The fourth episode of Inclusioni, the podcast channel of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures in collaboration with Fuori Aula Network, is now available on major podcast platforms. In this episode, the hosts embark on a journey to Australia, exploring a past that is often overlooked or even denied, and a present where the legacy of colonialism remains very strong.
Did you know that Australian Aboriginal culture is the oldest in the world, with traces dating back over 60,000 years? What is the current condition of Indigenous Australians? What was voted on in the 2023 constitutional referendum?
Our guide for this episode is Joaquin Rudd, an Australian singer-songwriter, musician, and activist. Joaquin was also a guest at the event “Songlines: the ancient secret to our planet’s oldest surviving culture”, held on March 25 at Santa Marta. Along with Fred Leone, he discussed and set to music the sounds of Australian Aboriginal tribal cultures.
The interview is conducted by Chiara Battisti, a professor of Anglo-American Languages and Literatures at the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures – University of Verona.
Happy listening!
