When we think of museums, we often envision a traditional building with objects and artefacts. In this episode, we challenge this notion with Dr. John Kannenberg from The Museum of Portable Sound. This episode delves into the concept of collecting and showcasing sound as cultural and museological heritage, offering a new perspective on traditional museum and music practices. By examining the portability of sound, this episode emphasizes that sound is an integral part of our cultural heritage and is not confined to a single space.
The Museum Of Portable Sound is now available for streaming on all major platforms.
The Academic Citizen is supported by the South African Research Chair in Science Communication at Stellenbosch University for Season 7.
