Summoning voices - A radio symposium on feminist world making
Words make language, language makes stories, and stories make worlds
Radio Echo is summoning a diversity of voices of storytellers,
artists, radio makers, community builders, researchers and activists
during a two day radio symposium, online at our radio platform and
physically at the Goethe Institut Rotterdam. Through a series of
conversations, dj sets and vocal experimentations that weave a
multilayered broadcast that touches upon methods to reimagine the
realities that define our lives. With it we challenge normative
understandings of being together and compose a web of solidarity
amongst our communities. We aim to provide a space where many
disciplines can intersect, nurture each other and find a channel to
influence the world with a touch of our magic.
