radio in between spaces
edition #11
With LISTENING AT PUNGWE (MEMORY BIWA & ROBERT MACHIRI), BUDHADITYA CHATTOPADHYAY
Decolonial perspectives on sound art.
Namibian historian Memory Biwa and sound artist Robert Machiri from Zimbabwe discuss the work of their collaborative project ´Listening at Pungwe´. ‘Listening at Pungwe’ activates sonic moments through installations and performances, as a way of deconstructing colonial archival practices, re-positioning subjects, and re-orienting sonic practices from various African regions. They propose to collectively hear/feel/create a new knowledge about the space and time in which we live.
Indian sound artist, theorist and writer Budhaditya Chattopadhyay introduces his research project "Connecting Resonances" on sound art from different regions of the Global South and presents his sound work "Decomposing Landscape".
In an open ended round table, all three artists will discuss the decolonisation and sound art.
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.
