radio in between spaces
edition #4
With YARA MEKAWEI, C-DRÍK
Moderated by THOMAS GLÄSSER, JAN LANGHAMMER
Yara Mekawei is a Cairo-based sound and media artist. Her sonic bricolages and electronic compositions draw inspiration from the flows of urban centers, from architecture, history and translation processes between the sonic and the visual sphere. Her conversation with In Between Spaces-curator Thomas Glaesser will center around her sound works and her Pan-African radio project Radio Submarine, and also look into Cairo´s electronic music history and its current art scene.
Cedrik Fermont (aka C-drík) is a Berlin-based Belgian-Congolese composer, musician, mastering engineer, author, radio host on Colaboradio/FR-BB.org, Staalplaat and Boxout.fm and label manager (Syrphe) operating in the field of Noise, Electronic and Experimental Music. On extensive tours in Asia, the Middle East and Africa he has researched electronic, noise and experimental music from these regions. His book on noise music in South-East Asia – Not Your World Music, co-written with Dimitri della Faille – has won a Golden Nica at Ars Electronica 2017.
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.
