RADIO PRACTICES AND RADICAL FORMS OF ORGANIZATION

with Silvia, Graeme, Nikolas (firefly frequencies), Gregoire (Station of Commons), Juan, Sandro, Andrea (Radio Tropiezo), Matteo (Cashmere Radio)

In the context or the Miss Read Pre-fair Program (September 2023) this public discussion involved some members of the Lumbung netwerk and focused on radio practice as a radical form of collective organization. How can audio practices operate together in terms of shared resources, contributions, economics, and overall planning? What are the main aims and ways of doing radio and how does radio situate itself (as a media) within the current neoliberal landscape?

Lumbung radio is an inter-local online community radio initiated as a part of documenta fifteen. It’s an open online broadcast that comprises an inter-local network of radio stations spread through many different geographies, comprising over 25 stations from around the globe. It operates in no specific time zones, and streams multiple languages, music, and art. Lumbung operates as a decentralized network of nodes that uses internet without its hegemonic agency. The intention is to produce an audiophonic common space built on the multiplication of the existing practices of its contributors.
