Malawian storytelling filmed

Jonas Agerbæk Jeppesen is a Master student in Communication and Philosophy at Roskilde University. During the recent Ørecomm Festival, Jonas presented his work in Malawi.

Jonas was a Nordic Africa Institute (NAI) study scholarship holder and spent the month of September at the Institute, planning for his second fieldtrip to Malawi. His project is entitled “Democracy, Oral Culture and Communication for Social Change in Rural Malawi”. The project explores Malawian oral culture and discusses its possible application in community radio and social change projects.

During his first field trip to Malawi, Jonas collected material which has resulted in two video productions: “The Town Girl” and “The Orphan”.
