Carol Gluck, Francoise Verges, Accra, 2015

By Aarti Kawlra

In February 2018, Françoise Vergès, advisor of the Humanities across Borders programme, gave a wide-ranging interview on French radio. It covers a lot of ground - from her childhood in Reunion to her long, globe-spanning career as an activist, academic, journalist, curator and much more. The entire interview is archived online in five parts.

Part One: Entre l’ombre et la lumière, une enfance réunionnaise

Part Two: Dépaysements

Part Three: Les horizons renversés

Part Four: Autant en emportent les femmes

Part Five: Essaimer une politique du vivant
