re- radio enacts artistic practice and collaborations as a means for living together differently, receiving the surprises and insights that occur through art-making. Radio —discarded, weak, fuzzy, analogue— and the radio station, including Radio Multe 93.FM, are the creative mediums for this inquiry and how we come together.
re- radio jams signals, causes interference, co-creates communications. re- radio holds a space for engaging and struggling with what living together differently means and whose contributions and voices are needed in this context. re- radio roots this inquiry to local contexts within Bergen, Norway, while linking to global concerns.
The presentation will be held in English and last for 30 minutes, with questions and discussion afterwards.
