Le Guess Who? 2025 guest curator Amirtha Kidambi launches a new podcast: Outernational. The podcast explores the relationship between music and revolution, featuring discussions with musicians who are using their music and platforms to grapple with the intersecting global crises of our times.
Hosted by Amirtha Kidambi, a vocalist, improviser, composer, organizer and educator, the conversations highlight the role of music in shaping social consciousness and sharing stories and strategies to inspire us in our collective struggle and build solidarity. Introduced by the late composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, “Outernationalism” is a concept that defies creative, spiritual and political borders, exploring our relationships as listeners, artists and culture workers outside of global capitalism and nation-states.
Amirtha Kidambi now shares the trailer of the podcast. Tune in below.
You can listen to the podcast on Substack, Apple Podcasts and YouTube. The first episode, releasing very soon, features Angel Bat Dawid, talking about her work as an artist and educator in Chicago.
Amirtha Kidambi's curation at Le Guess Who? 2025 features a.o. Ghadrغدر, One Leg One Eye, Saint Abdullah & Jason Nazary and more.
