The article discusses a documentary film called "COSMIC DIFFERENCES RESOUND IN A NEW SCIENCE, KAROO AND ASTRONOMY FILM" that explores the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), a radio telescope being built in the Karoo. The film aims to bridge the gap between the scientific knowledge generated by the SKA and the indigenous knowledge of the IXam-speaking San and their Afrikaans-speaking descendants. It highlights the importance of recognizing and respecting different knowledge traditions and challenges the dominant structures of knowledge creation. The film also addresses issues of cultural appropriation, representation, restitution, and land alienation. [Extracted from the article] |
