radio in between spaces
edition #6
With SOPHIA BAUER, RAPHAEL KARIUKI
Cologne-based sound and media artist Sophia Bauer will present a radio adaption of her installation Kereita Forest Block. It is part of a body of work called Forest Scapes which explores the influence of colonialism on forest landscapes through sound. Then she talks about how an acquisition of knowledge that is based on the auditory, can make it possible to rethink the relationship between colonialism, people, places and plants and to reassemble established hierarchies.
Raphael Kariuki aka DJ Raph, DJ and Producer from Nairobi, will introduce Sound Of Nairobi, an online open access archive, that was co-founded by both guests of this show and present a composition based on its sounds archive. Sound Of Nairobi employs sound as a material that can be archived, researched and explored as a source for information that can narrate the history of the city, now and in the future.
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.
