radio in between spaces
edition #3
With JOSEPH KAMARU, BUDHADITYA CHATTOPADHYAY
Moderated by THOMAS GLÄSSER, FRANZISKA WINDISCH
Nairobi based sound artist Joseph Kamaru (KMRU) will present a radiophonic version of the sound installation project variations that brings together sonic atmospheres of three different cities: Nairobi, Berlin and St Petersburg, using everything from gritty indigenous sounds to field recordings and intricate sonic landscapes.
Budhaditya Chattopadhyay is a contemporary artist, researcher, writer and theorist. In sound and visuals, large-scale installations and performance, his work addresses urgent issues such as the climate crisis, human intervention in the environment and ecology, migration, race, and decolonization. We will explore sonic fluctuations in contemporary cities, aspects of subjectivity and transcendence inherent in listening and topics related to his forthcoming book The Nomadic Listener.
Sonic Perspectives from the Global South. Sounding Hospitalities. Time, Sound and Emancipatory Practices. Radio as Activism.
In sonic lectures, live performances, conversations, compositions, documentaries, and radio plays, radio in between spaces is exploring the interplay of sound, public and private space, activist and artistic practice. International sound artists and experimental musicians, philosophers and theorists, critics and journalists examine questions of foreignness and proximity, solidarity and dissonance, vibration and materiality, meaning and noise, permeability and resistance.
