‘MOYO’ is first and foremost an experience, a soundscape where oral history meets art. It tells a version of the immigration story that is undercovered and often misunderstood: that of return to one’s country of origin. Two years ago, producer Omara Poppe’s father left Belgium, where he had lived for more than 30 years, to start an artisanal brewery in his home country, Togo. She travels there, empowered by her microphone, and hears about his immigration experience for the first time. An intimate portrait of a father-daughter bond, ‘MOYO’ feels as though it could happen anywhere, and yet is so essentially connected to its specific places. Listening to it, we felt it was a piece that had gone through a process of coming into its right form. The story is complex structurally and rigorous in its form and technique, but doesn’t feel that way – it feels as though it unfolds, patiently, in your head as you listen. This story is so alive in its vivid, specific details and in the way the landscape is allowed to tell the story. Even as it engages with pressing issues of immigration and anti-Black racism, ‘MOYO’ is not journalism in a traditional sense, yet it's fully and completely what journalism should be. ‘MOYO’ moved us. – Judges Anayansi Diaz-Cortes, Anne Jeppesen, and Jonathan Zenti
