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.
