Recordist's notes
We are sitting in the still a little too cold grass right at the river. Bulemu Mutale came from rural Zimbabwe to Germany with a South-North volunteering programme almost two-and-a-half years back. Surrounded by the voices of spring bird song and frogs, we are journeying together with Bulemu through her life experiences in Germany and back home... two months before Bulemu left Binga Zimbabwe in November 2018, we had recorded a first interview together, in that case, in the silence of a night in the Zambezi Valley... Find the 2018 recording under this link https://aporee.org/maps/?loc=38371 The complete interview from 2021 is archived here: https://archive.org/details/BulemuMutale_SouthNorthVolunteer2
