The workshop will continue the artist’s practice that focuses on participation as a tool for investigating citizenship formation through co-learning processes in the production of shared fragments of language. The group will learn how to produce a community radio show, narrate, discuss and record together and continue to form questions around how we negotiate our everyday life and the experience of of local residents of Piraeus, coming from all different communities but with a focus on communities that experiences migration either in 1920’s and its legacies or very recent experiences.
The workshop will invite the participants for two 3 hour sessions on the first weekend of the festival, where we learn how to produce a podcast or a community radio program, its local history and contemporary distribution realities, start writing a script together and invite the participants to bring songs, texts, poems or recordings from home in order to edit them on the second day of the workshop.
The material will then be processed for mixing and will be available to play on the grounds of the festival and online. Furthermore, a listening session with the participants of the workshop can be scheduled for the second weekend, where we can also discuss their experiences.
Through the use of sound and mapping, we will explore the anxieties and questions of the present in the Piraeus, producing and sharing aesthetics for a future, especially through sharing experiences, poetry and music.
