Solomon Sampa is a traditional fisherman from the greater Accra area of Ghana. His testimony in Episode 5: Artisanal Fisheries & the Art of Unthinking for the Critical Raw Materials Podcast Series by FRAUD gives a local perspective of the Ghanian artisanal fisherfolk in relation to Ghana’s depleting marine landscape.
The podcast series, developed in conversation with academics, economists, lawyers, activists and journalists, explores how risk associated with the supply of Critical Raw Materials is unevenly shaping international relations while perpetuating colonial legacies in Europe’s periphery and the Global South. The discussions aim to look beyond these extractive practices to the possibility of thinking and doing otherwise.
