RADIO ELSEWHERES
Radio Elsewheres (RE) is an online and terrestrial low-power digital radio art project conceptualized, produced and curated by artists Velibor Božović and Steve Bates, and art historian and curator Claudia Zini.
Our focus is on movement and displacement, voluntary or forced, of human and non-human bodies, languages, ideas, recipes, botany, music tuning systems, stories, etc. Furthermore, instances of extinction, birth, decay and re-emergence, are of interest. Radio Elsewheres is event-based and comes together for three weeks of 24/7 intense periods of transmission of art, ideas, and research, then pauses to develop its online archive and network for upcoming actions. As a fluid assembly of human and non-human voices across languages, RE seeks to expand the meaning and possibilities of listening — to and from ‘elsewheres', where the misuse of the word acknowledges the potential and challenges of acquiring additional language(s) and identities.
Radio Elsewheres investigates borders and transgressions of these structures. Who moves? Who has moved? Who decides who moves? And what does it mean to come to rest, temporarily or permanently? RE is a sound space where sound/radio art and social engagement efforts affect and enhance one another, a sound space within which artists, storytellers, and listeners engage and address these questions through conversation and various aural interventions.
