History
This radio broadcast is the result of conversations and working relationships that navigate the concept of what an archipelagic construction could mean, in terms of organization, belonging, and self. It was constructed between an archipelago of friends such as but not limited to Angeliki, Asher, Bas, Chung, Clara, Reinaart, and Tanex.
This radio broadcast departs from conversations about the essay Sketches of Archipelagic Poetics of Postcolonial Belonging by maryamdeluz and Marco Cuevas-Hewitt. The essay is an island of a mutual aid anarchozine package compiled by EtnikoBandido. The zine package was an island of Comfort People Safety Curtain 24 Hour Souvenir Shop—a collective work produced by an active cell of To Be Determined. The art work was an island of the Fictioning Comfort show at Showroom Mama Gallery from July–September 2020. Financing received by TBD from the Mondrian Funds and Stimuleringsfonds was redistributed more or less equally to the archipelago.
This self-funded radio broadcast is part of the Terracotta Universe City workshop by Jatiwangi Art Factory (Jawa Barat) for students of WdKA (Rotterdam) and ZhDK (Zurich).
Archipelagic Conversation
Panelists and moderators will be experimenting with a proposed format of archipelagic conversation, allowing for silence (water) to flow between speech (islands). Mimicking conventions of shortwave radio, after a speaker is done with their intervention, they will say "over." The rest of the group will wait approximately 5 seconds before adding a response. This is a welcoming of (radio) silence as a necessary part of (archipelagic) conversation. The listening public is encouraged to have parallel conversations on the IRC chat window, where it is OK to chat on top of the speakers. Moderators will be actively monitoring IRC to give voice/volume to the listener.Links
