Lucy Cordes Engelman is an artist based in Amsterdam, originally from Washington DC. She works with the sensorial potential of film and writing in relation to feminism and ecology as a way of reconnecting to the living earth and its seas. Subjugated and alternative knowledges that are deeply embedded in place are central to Lucy’s research-based practice, which often engages with hydrofeminism and mythology as a way to explore the shoreline between the human and non-human. Graduating with honors from the MA Artistic Research at KABK in 2019, Lucy was a participant in the Arctic Circle Residency in 2022, and has an upcoming show at LOOP Alternative Space in Seoul.

A Litany for Softness by Yuna Lee @yuna.lee__⁠ ⁠ Yuna's work centres on memory, ritual and healing. Particularly, the notion of softness as resistance and resilience even in the face of violence which draws from her personal experience as well as areas of research such as Daoism and speculative fiction. This is embodied by the element of water whose freeform grace runs throughout the soundscape. Field recordings, samples and spoken word, traces from a myriad of times and places, are recontextualized with the same fluidity.⁠

On creativity in the postpartum period by Leonie Roessler ⁠ Radio LOOS Special II, on Creativity during the Postpartum Period, is a follow-up to the previous episode which explores the creative process artists experience while being pregnant.

Rotterdam, ever since its beginnings. Two relevant activities for WORM have been: running the WORM shop with books, films and records, and founding the RE#SISTER community, operating from WORM’s electronic studio. The WORM shop has morphed into a mobile and on-line shop called Underbelly Soundartmedia; RE#SISTER has evolved rapidly in a vibrant group of female and non-binary people, responding to its ethos of accessibility, do-it-yourself experimentation and learning, supporting those who tend to be underrepresented in sound art, as well as in electronic and improvised music. Mariëtte herself plays free-flowing music, either solo or with others, using her voice, synths, samples and small acoustic instruments.

Cara Mayer is Cardboard Lamb. As a DJ, she cares about narrative radio – mixing ambient, experimental electronics, and various iterations of wave and folk with film clips, field recordings, and poetry along a chosen theme.

She is a resident at Mutant Radio in Tbilisi with a bi-monthly show exploring Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities, as well as a student studying the sonics, poetics, and politics of spaces at Sandberg’s Studio for Immediate Spaces. Outside of DJing, Cara is a music programmer at Radio Tempo Não Pàra, and has worked as a writer, host, and radio-maker for Pinkman Records, Operator, and Future Intel.

How ocean currents move plastic – and thus make it a global problem?

The plastic polluting our ocean is very troublesome. Plastic has now been found from the deepest ocean trenches to the Arctic Sea ice. But whose plastic is it that is now littering our once-pristine ocean? Where does marine litter come from, and where does it end up?

In this talk, Erik will show how we combine computer simulations of virtual particles with advanced statistics and techniques from archaeology to determine the most likely sources of the plastic ending up on remote islands like the Galapagos and Svalbard. And ask how this plastic soup is related to climate change.

Erik van Sebille is an oceanographer, climate scientist and activist. His research focuses on how ocean currents transport heat, nutrients, marine organisms and plastic litter. He builds computer models to simulate the transport of this ‘stuff’ in the ocean. He is also affiliated with the Freudenthal Institute, where he leads research into the effectivity of Public Engagement activities and the role of academics in society, within the context of Open Science.

Sissel Marie Tonn is a Danish artist based in The Hague (NL). In her practice she explores the complex ways humans perceive, act upon and are entangled with their environments. Her work always returns to the question at the core of ecological thought:

Where do we perceive our bodies to end, and the environment to begin?

"We will make a low-level worm bin out of used mayo buckets. It is a good way to get acquainted with worms for once and a start of a symbiosis between humans and worms. There will also be a comprehensive story about worms; for example, differences between worms, how to care for them and what to look out for to keep them happy. You will be given a handy worm menu card at the end."

Jamie Nee (Jamie Stulen) is a producer from Den Helder and has a studio in Utrecht. Jamie refers to stories about ecology, symbiosis, cycles, self-sufficiency, regenerative culture, permaculture, gardening, micro-life and sometimes physics. He sees himself as an ecosystem engineer and a symbiont, in effect what people are anyway, but believes this needs to be reclaimed. The slowly building mission is to instruct people to become 'intentionally symbiotic' again, to give them the tools to produce their own food, which often starts with compost.

Reinterpreting the conceptual methodology of 'Weathering' (Neimanis and Hamilton, 2018), this experimental meditation invites listeners to adopt a feminist mode of responding to climate changes. With closed eyes, listeners are encouraged to awaken the cells of their bodies and collectively sense the weather. We are prompted to quietly feel the moments when unseen particles traverse our bodies. Tuning into the warmth of sunlight and the gentle caress of the wind, we become attuned to the interconnectedness of our existence.⁠

In their collaboration, Sohyun Park and Adriana Joëlle process their personal experiences and research through writing text, before they start working in sculptural space. These writings attempt to find a balance between resilience and vulnerability from a feminist perspective. This ongoing experiments unravel hopelessness within care taking. While a certain fragility exists in its purest form, its also the base for spreading extensive networks.

The installation and performance inspired by these texts has been showcased at TRIXIE, The Hague on April 14th 2024.

afterhours listening time with Colette Aliman, the founder of Sound Office

@vanessakourtesi "The garden in front: Say Nothing II"

what's in a singer's voice? How is our sound impacted by our experiences and how do we express it? what does it mean to be a female vocalist, and how is this identity impacting our work and artistic practice? how is female voice percieved and what is expected to do or not do? These questions are investigated by fragments of literature, contemporary compositions, lullabies and laments that get lost in time. During the show, Vanessa will play a piece specially composed by her for the occasion, based on a sound collage of voice messages that answer the questions above.

In this sound piece, I fuse ambient and soulful music featuring women's voices with the gentle soundscapes of women in the midst of childbirth. By highlighting the strength of the female body, this set intends to take you out of the mind and into the body.

"Mien El Helwa Di" - a poetry sonic broadcast by MarYAM Abdelalim⁠ @maryamabdelalim

Mien El Helwa Di is a feminist piece of the outright aggression and the subtle ones 'women' face. In all its triggers, it truly is a love letter to the one who faces the injustice of it all and powers through. It is a bilingual piece between Arabic and English.

Sophie Allerding: A plea to the power of the erotics. Adrienne Maree Brown begins her book "Pleasure Activism" with the exercise 'Who taught you to be good,' in which she encourages readers to look back at their lineage and acknowledge who politicized their experience of body, identity, sensation, and feeling good. Through this exercise, I realized what a privilege it is to grow up with a mother who encourages independence, strength, non-gender conformity, and is open to giving you the best sexual education accessible to her. Without my mother I would have not been the feminist I am today. She laid the groundwork for the way I fight for gender-equity. Join me for a conversation with my mother on her story on female empowerment, sexual liberation and music.⁠

On creativity during pregnancy by Leonie Roessler ⁠ Traditionally it has been challenging for women to secure a career in the arts and to pursue art as a profession rather than simply as a hobby. When women emancipated themselves and contraception became widely available they could pursue artistic careers, but often had to, or felt like they had to chose between their work and becoming mothers. This is only changing slowly and balancing work and motherhood remains a challenge. However, many women also feel a new surge of creativity during pregnancy and when entering motherhood, and there is scientific evidence that suggests that the physical changes brought on by motherhood promotes a new sort of creativity. This episode is an informal exploration of this topic, with contributions from Tatiana Kolganova, Asami Kiuchi Oishi, and Maya Felixbrodt.⁠ Heard on:⁠ Radiophrenia 2023⁠ Summoning Voices, Goethe Institute Rotterdam⁠ Resonance Extra, London⁠ Cashmere Radio Berlin⁠ Radio TONKA⁠ CAMP Radio⁠ Bermudafunk Mannhein⁠ Radio Blau, Leipzig

Graquandra & Baby “G” Experience SB

Talking Skateboarding from the "G" Experience:⁠ Skate and Destroy the Patriarchy!⁠

Skateboarding is built on community and DIY initiatives. The fuels that keep the culture pushing forward are the skateboarders themselves. Skateboarders will tell you it's one big family, while leaving non-traditional skateboarders in the shadows. As many other male-dominated sports, the Girls, the Gays, the G's if you will are underrepresented and marginalised. It is not all sorrows, initiatives such as New Wave Skate and The Baby G Experience SB are examples of community care by and for women and queer skateboarders to have an empowering and safe space to practice the sport that gives us so much. Talking about skate edits, their favourite skaters, initiatives, magazines and some fundamentals of skate culture, in this episode Negara and Graquandra talk skateboarding, from the "G" perspective. A guest call-in with Valentina Díaz, founder of the Colombian Girl Skate Crew Sobre Ruedas Girls, Valentina will share her story in the Colombian skate scene. After the show, there will be a FREE Skate lesson hosted by The Baby G Experience SB from 17:00 at Schouwburgplein. ⁠

Multilingual mess is a solo radio performance and an extension of Antrianna's bi-weekly show at Radio WORM. For 45' she will perform the practice that she calls nonstop languaging, a practice of tracing her thoughts through language as an attempt to merge autobiography with theory and articulate the continuous present. In this performance she will focus on the languages that form her everyday life and the women (artists, writers, grandmothers) that shape her artistic research on nonstop languaging as autotheory.⁠

A queer feminist history. Gossip does not have a good reputation - wrongly so. For marginalised people in particular, the passing on of information beyond the official, dominant transfer of knowledge has often been essential for survival.

Girl Hauntology highlights the women who have been rendered ghostly in the art canon, as “deconstructive figures hovering between life and death, presence and absence.” In an interview, two Oslo-based friends and young artists Madelon Verbeek (NL) and Ghazaal Nasiri (IR) share their influences and the connections to their work from a transnational, feminist perspective. The entry point of the conversation is the eerie/ghostly/unsettling in their work.

girl hauntology highlights the women who have been rendered ghostly in the art canon, as “deconstructive figures hovering between life and death, presence and absence.” This mixtape focuses on the eerie, ghostly, sad girl imagination that electronic experimental music can evoke. As musician and historian of sound Tara Rodgers writes in her book Pink Noises: "The tools for making electronic music are not innocent. They are an interface to ghosts of technoscientific projects past." The flinta* artists in this mixtape will haunt you with ethereal voices, granulated sounds, morphed rhythms, and analogue synthesizers.

The project is initiated by Cristina Cochior, Julie Boschat-Thorez and Manetta Berends. varia is a member-based organisation in Rotterdam (Charlois), focused on everyday technology. It uses the term everyday technology to break through the vision of old and new technology, or smart and not so smart technology by looking more at the appropriateness of what each technology does in a particular situation, while trying to understand whose everyday is meant by the term, to not include one single world view, but to acknowledge that everyone engages with technology in a different way.

Documentation and reflections on the second workshop day of Hackers & Designers Summer Academy 2022 with Hackitects collective and Hackers & Designers

Hackitects: (Michel Barchini, Mary Farwy) is a species of interdisciplinary designers with an architectural background. Their work takes place at the interface between spatial design, biohacking, and technology. They are driven by dismantling the normative approaches to architecture by highlighting the interconnected relations between environment, human, and non-human bodies. Emanating from technological, political and cultural landscapes, they propose alternative working models that imagine rewarding and positive scenarios of uncertain futures.

In the Radio Echo monthly feminist reading club Echoing words of… we are discussing Quantum Listening by Pauline Oliveros.

Recording of the second event of Hackers & Designers Public Program of the Summer Academy Connecting Otherwise 2022. The Queer Arcana is a theatre/game collective that organises theatre shows in which a group of drag performers play Dungeons and Dragons on a live theatre stage. Queer Arcana tries to enhance the visibility of queer gamers and investigates what happens when you overlap different subcultures in art and design. The members are working towards setting up a large digital and analogue gaming community where gaming is used as a tool for strengthening social cohesion, and as a way to explore the self regarding gender identity, humanity, and position in life. The lecture-performance will address the evolution of non-binary drag and how it has influenced the queer community’s discussions of gender identity.

ᖇᗩᗪIO ᔕéᗩᑎᑕE is a research project on the radio by Radio Echo Member Sophie Allerding, about role play and active imagination as modes of knowledge production and storytelling methods. Next to life experiments, different makers and practices will be interviewed.

About the Radio LARP: Chilli and Cayenne will make your big dream come true! On Monday, now and then, you can try your luck and call! The line is running hot, but maybe you‘ll make it, and if you get through, it‘s game on! Come and play to make your biggest dream come true.

The third issue was produced in collaboration with Jana Romanova. Together we developed a radio larp which will be played life on radioecho.

The Interview with Jana Romanova starts in hour 2:23.

Jana Romanova is a multidisciplinary artist inspired by misunderstandings. Currently, she is researching how different game mechanics, gamification and playfulness can become tools for creating meaningful connections. She designs and facilitates larps and all sorts of games.

Mariëtte Groot has been working for WORM, the Institute of Avantgardistic Recreation in Rotterdam, ever since its beginnings. Two relevant activities for WORM have been: running the WORM shop with books, films and records, and founding the RE#SISTER community, operating from WORM’s electronic studio. The WORM shop has morphed into a mobile and on-line shop called Underbelly Soundartmedia; RE#SISTER has evolved rapidly in a vibrant group of female and non-binary people, responding to its ethos of accessibility, do-it-yourself experimentation and learning, supporting those who tend to be underrepresented in sound art, as well as in electronic and improvised music. Mariëtte herself plays free-flowing music, either solo or with others, using her voice, synths, samples and small acoustic instruments.

Mingus Janssen is a researcher, designer and writer concerned with the voices, perspectives and views of more-than-human entities. Besides running the publishing house Mycelium Media, Mingus currently interviews people pretending to be their fascination, turning interviewing on its head.

In this episode we are first listening to a spider interviewing Sophie Allerding. After minute 17 you will hear Sophie interviewing Mingus on his role-play interviewing practice. Disclaimer: Originally Mingus interviewed Sophie as a crow but this part of the recording got lost. We replaced it with a previous interview they had in which Mingus was a spider.

Femø' Women's camp

The Femø Women’s Camp has been held since 1971. Until the mid-1980s it was arranged by the Women’s Liberation Movement that organised the camp, and it was based on the movement’s ideals of sisterly solidarity and feminist culture. Since there was no longer a unified Women’s Liberation Movement from the mid-1980s, the camp continued as an independent association.

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.
