Sound and Memory: listening to the sound artifacts of Colombia’s Truth Commission. 

Recordings from https://comisiondelaverdad.co/volumen-testimonial  

This 3-part listening session offers a close listening at the sound artifacts included in the Testimonial Volume of the Final Report of Colombia’s Comisión de la Verdad (2018-2022), interspersed with commentary by Daniel Villegas and academic guests from Colombia. The recordings are reproduced in their entirety, respecting the Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license that covers the materials of the Truth Commission.

One of the most important events in the recent history of Colombia is the Peace Agreement reached in 2016 with the Armed Revolutionary Forces of Colombia—People’s Army, known by their acronym in Spanish as FARC-EP. The agreement sought to bring an end to the civil war that, since the 1960s, had ravaged the country, involving revolutionary groups, paramilitary armies often acting in collaboration with the military, and local populations caught in the crossfire. 

As part of the peace agreements, the Colombian State launched a four-year Commission charged with clarifying the multiplicity of causes of the armed conflict with the aim of achieving what the peace agreement called “a long-lasting peace.” This effort is known as the Comisión de la Verdad, or Truth Commission. Less than a unified narrative, the 11 members of the “Truth Commission” sought to compose a broad, multi-layered and plural account of a conflict that extended over half a century, by centering the voices and experiences of those who most suffered the consequences of the war: farmers, children, women and LGBT+ people, Black and Indigenous communities.

The results of this endeavor—carried out between 2018 and 2022—are precisely as staggering as their subject matter: the final report spans ten volumes and over ten thousand pages of testimony, a historical account of the period between 1948 and 2016, exhaustive investigations of the human rights violations that were prevalent in the conflict, as well as 66 recommendations to avoid a new civil war by transforming the structural causes of the armed conflict. These volumes are complemented by a multimodal website containing interactive infographics, audiovisual documentaries, and a section of field recordings or “sound artefacts,” the focus of this radio emission, that amplify the contents of the Testimonial Volume, one of the most important outcomes of the final report for its focus on victims’ voices.

Remnants of Partition is an oral history archive and the first and only study of the belongings carried by refugees who migrated during the 1947 Partition of India. Written as a crossover between history and anthropology, it is the product of years of painstaking and passionate research, a remarkable alternative history telling the family stories hidden within items carried between the new India and Pakistan, amid chaos and violence. 

Here is the author, Aanchal Malhotra, reading from the book for Radio Elsewheres. 

Aanchal Malhotra is an oral historian and writer based in New Delhi, India. She works predominantly on the 1947 Partition of British India and has written three books on the subject, which illuminate the human history, cross-border significance, and generational legacy of the event.
