Summoning Voices: A conversation with Mariëtte Groot
A conversation with Mariëtte Groot that took place during the
Summoning voices - A radio symposium on feminist world making July
8-9.23 in Goethe Institut Rotterdam and at radioecho.net In the
conversation you can hear Mariëtte talking about her sonic journey,
the history of WORM and RE#SISTER, the importance of womxn role
models in the electronic music world and the underbelly pop up book
shop.
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.

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.
