The complexity of the global hunger
problem can be so overwhelming that we tend
to reach for digestible sound bites and linear
analyses that offer only a temporary handle on
the systemic issue. In other words, it is not only a
hunger problem, but a problem of knowledge and
communication tools.
The Food Cosmos explores how we talk about and
make sense of hunger by making the experience of
listening more visual and interactive, and drawing
attention to the sources. Six podcasts comprise
audio collages of interviews, advertisements, pop
culture videos, songs and sound effects drawn
from different perspectives and multiple voices.
The listener is given the agency to choose their
own navigation rather than rely on a single linear
authority, drawing attention to how these choices
affect understanding. Nadine Botha
