Participatory Sound Event for the Day Against Police Violence

On March 15th, it is the International Day Against Police Violence. The artist Laura Joos has produced an acoustic statement, which will be broadcast on Radio Blau on Saturday at 5 PM. The idea: Play this sound piece as loudly as possible. No matter where. No matter what device. From your phone speakers on the bus, from your laptop in the café, through the stereo system in your living room, or the Bluetooth speaker in the park, from the car radio. In private spaces, a maximum of 35 to 40 dB is allowed, in public spaces 45 to 55 dB. Join this collective action—for all the unheard voices.

FLINTA*-Radio-Workshop

Due to popular demand, we are offering an introduction to the structure of our radio station, studio and audio editing technology and the structure of a magazine programme in a FLINTA* group on Saturday 22 February from 12 noon to 5 pm. On Monday 24 February from 2.30 to 8.30 pm, we will create the ‘Aktuell’ programme and learn how to conduct interviews and present a radio show. Monday can also be a space for us FLINTA* not to be alone on the day after the election, but to deal proactively with the results. The workshop days can be attended together or individually, in any case you pay 11€, whether for 1 or 2 workshop days. Location: Radio Blau, Paul-Gruner-Str. 62, Centre-South. The workshop rooms are relatively barrier-free, please discuss your needs with us in advance. If you need a translation, please let us know. Women, lesbians, inter-, non-binary, trans and agender people can register bindingly at anja@radioblau.de.

The workshops for our ‘Direktsignal’ project are in full swing. The last two (‘Interview and fact checking’ and ‘Programme planning’) were well attended. We were able to reach people from the Spanish-speaking community in particular, but we would be delighted if we could cover an even wider range of languages. So come along to our other workshops: on 25 October on the topic of ‘Moderation and hosting a show’ and on 8 November on ‘Audio Editing with Reaper’.

We will also be resuming our regular editorial meetings in November (always on Fridays from 10am-12am).
None of the dates suit you? Write to us and we’ll find a common date – we’re also open to finding a new date for the editorial meeting. Just get in touch with direktsignal@radioblau.de
