Field Interview · Oumou Aidara · Berlin / Dakar
Building rooms that outlive a viral moment
On turning anger into structure, bilingual publishing, and what SIFE builds next.
Why the platform exists
In this long demo conversation, Oumou Aidara (composite seed voice for layout) reflects on building Sport Is For Everyone between Berlin and Dakar — as artist, athlete, and organiser.
On anger that becomes structure
“Anger is information. The work is to turn it into rooms, films, and a database that outlive a single viral moment.”
She describes early gatherings that looked like hikes and felt like research: silence, shared pace, and the politics of who feels safe in public space.
On bilingual publishing
“Chrome can be translated. Lived stories need care. We show English originals when German isn’t ready yet — honesty over fake completeness.”
What comes next
Academy materials, more field interviews, and a shop that funds independence without pretending merch is a donation. Editors: rewrite this seed interview whenever the real transcript is approved.
