How do societies remember those once hidden behind institutional walls? The Swedish podcast "Vipeholmsanstalten" reconstructs the world of neglect, coercion and medical experimentation in one of Sweden’s largest institutions for intellectually disabled people.
Anna Derksen explores how the podcast produces historical knowledge as a form of mediated memory 👇

Analyzes the effects of podcasting both on the (his)storytelling and in redressing old abuses, here specifically about Vipeholmsanstalten, a Swedish institution that housed and treated people with intellectual disabilities.
