“The Media Workshop” welcomes the initiators of the “Adama Project”, a podcast that focuses on the black figures that revolve around the fight for Adama Traoré, 24, who died in handcuffs in 2016 in the courtyard of a French gendarmerie.

Élisa Da Silva
and
Arthur Vacher
are literature students.
A little over two years ago, in a demonstration, they heard from Assa Traoré, Adama Traoré's sister.
It was the “click”.
In early 2020, to talk about those who embody the fight for Adama Traoré, they launched a podcast called
Project Adama
.
Each month, they broadcast an interview with a black person who questions his relationship to this fight by questioning the justice system, the police and more generally the experience of racialized people in the public space in France.
In
The Media Workshop
, Élisa Da Silva and Arthur Vacher explain their approach.
For them, the podcast is "a form of engagement" in itself that allows "to deploy a word" and tell the story in motion.
At the end of the broadcast,
Mondoblog audio
plays Togolese

.
While Unesco celebrates the World Day for African and Afro-descendant culture every January 24, our Mondoblogeuse is launching a plea for African culture.
