Displacement with Irina Maldea and Nkosikhona Ngcobo

CFCP On Air: New Voices of Ireland Session 5 Irina Maldea and Nkosikhona NgcoboIn ConversationThe migrant journey is one that is complex and never quite completed. As shown in many films – both fiction and documentary – that journey is both physical and psychological. And while, at some point, the journey from home to the chosen destination reaches its end, the process of assimilation into a new culture is much slower and at times more trying. Questions of identity, roots, memory, dreams and freedom are oftentimes complicated and difficult to navigate.
In this podcast, we discuss the topics of migration, displacement, loops and identity.
