Here, Narcissus is a metaphor for a society that has not come to terms with its colonial history and takes itself and its own image as the only objects of love, while Echo is reduced to endlessly repeating Narcissus\u2019 words. Kilomba asks, how do we break out of this colonial and patriarchal mould? \n\nTalk begins at 34:00 in the recording. \n\nwww.1-54.com","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/467b0b2b-3713-4bdd-8414-6f66e80871b2/1UES5z166dd8egoqDhyi20xN.jpg"}
