On Tuesday 30.11.2021 from 12:00 until 06:00 of the following day (CET) Archipel Community Radio will broadcast the third edition of their special program Radio Otherwise organized by Kate Donovan, Monai de Paula Antunes and Niko de Paula Lefort aka nikoLFO, together with other radio enthusiasts and special guests. Archipel will stream live from the bookstore celebrating our 8th anniversary. The event can be heard on 88,4 FM Berlin / 90,7 FM Potsdam and here!
This episode presents contributions from Ela Spalding, Jean-Marie Dhur and Lorena Carràs, Giacomo Marinsalta, Nora Spiekermann, Kate Donovan, Ally Bishop, Catherine Evans, Jann Petersen, Elisa Pieper (HOOOPS), Jasmina Al-Qaisi, nikoLFO, JD Zazie, Tony Elieh, Manfred Naescher, Alix Edwards and more.
Archipel is happy to host a radio event on the day they celebrate our 8th anniversary, specially because Archipel’s first station was set at their shop 3 years ago on December 8th 2018. Also happy this event encompasses Radio Otherwise, an ongoing artistic research project motivated by the many knots which art, knowledge-making/sharing and communication encounter. Thinking and doing radio otherwise means focussing beyond purely anthropogenic transmissions, recognising relationality within the spectrum of more-than-human radio ecologies: the sun’s rays, lightning strikes, meteors, the radio memories held in soil from radioactive pollutants. It also means to research and reflect upon alternative histories and forms of radio-making through its complex materialities and multifarious aural traditions; special attention is paid to the spatial qualities of radio and radio-making, from experimenting with nomadic outdoor studios, building small-scale transmission ecologies (Friz), to observing how the frequency spectrum is occupied in place of rich biodiversity (Krause).

Aural Maps. EN/FR 120 Min
A non-linear narrative exploration of Aurality throughout sounds, stories and interviews. Aurality is a concept describing the techniques, modalities, embodiments and effects of information ‚carried on‘ or ‚engraved in‘ sound waves and vibrations. The journey will lead us from outer space frequencies captured by giant telescopes to bioacoustics of our planet, from sound artists musique concrète to imagined ecosystems, from oral traditions to radiophony.
In this episode, live performances by JD Zazie, Tony Elieh and nikoLFO.

Silent Witnesses. EN 60 Min
One ear on the ground listening to soil. Buried artefacts witnessing acoustic memories, worms composting speculative futures. A microphone records decay. Die Erde als Verstärker. Listening to your subconscious. Earth massen covering your body. It is heavy. When listening to soil hearing nothing is very very odd. What does silence mean?
credits: Elisa Pieper, Jann Petersen
Lost Rocks Readings. EN 60 Min
Readings by Kate Donovan, Ally Bisshop and Catherine Evans from the ‘Lost Rocks (2017–21)’ – an ambitious, slow-publishing artwork – a library of forty three books, by forty six artists over five years. A unique seam of mineralogical and metaphysical telling unfolds.

Offener Kanal Europa / Die Stadt als Papier Denken. DE/EN 60 Min
The Offener Kanal Europa (OKE) is the first channel for Europacity: it is an artistic initiative to foster exchange and communication in a new and still unknown part of the city. Since the dominance of real estate investors is flagrant in the area, OKE explores possibilities for participation and personal initiative reclaiming public space, and questioning the speculative privatization processes affecting Europacity and Berlin.
In this episode we will present our fanzine publication « Die Stadt als Papier denken » published by ZZZNACK Publications, and supported by the Kreativfonds Bauhaus Universität Weimar. We’ll review the last developments in Europacity, with a selection of music, interviews and readings relating the neighborhood and urban politics in the city.

Offener Kanal Europa / Live in Europa City: Smart Art. DE/EN 60 Min
Offener Kanal Europa (OKE) produced three radio shows in July 2021, which you can finally listen to! We broadcast live from Europacity on Cashmere Radio.
The search for a public broadcasting location proved difficult, and so in the end we were guests of various people in the neighbourhood. In this episode called „Smart Art“ we investigate which role art plays in Europacity. At first glance, this is not at all clear, which is why the OKE took a closer look at this connection.
