Tune in to Handing Over the Mic, a new podcast series where influential voices
from the Global South share their perspectives on Europe—its past, present and
future.
What does Europe look like from the outside? What narratives do people from
regions of the Global South attribute to Europe?
Hosts Elisa Diaz Gras, Margaux Cassan and Christine Mhundwa speak with political
leaders, writers, artists, diplomats and intellectuals engaged in current geopolitical
debate to explore Europe’s historical legacy, global image and evolving role in the
world.
In our first episode (lauching 19 February 2025) we hand over the mic to Mohamed
Mbougar Sarr, the acclaimed Senegalese writer and 2021 Prix Goncourt winner. In a
wide-ranging conversation, he reflects on Europe's literature, politics and historical
legacy through the lens of Senegal and Africa, offering new insights on identity,
colonial memory and the power of storytelling.
