Arts Catalyst is excited to launch an opportunity to participate in the School of Broadcasting - a new initiative bringing together practitioners, community organisations and individuals who are interested in exploring the possibilities of broadcasting as a collective practice.
Application deadline: 29 October 2020, 5pm
Radio Arts Catalyst is a new initiative and web platform. It explores radio as a site for artistic encounters and as a critical space in which to collectively address current social, political and environmental challenges that are happening on a hyperlocal (South Yorkshire) and a global scale.
The School of Broadcasting is an audio-centric space for listening, mapping and transmitting, bringing together practitioners, community organisations and individuals who are interested in exploring the possibilities of broadcasting as a collective practice. During this six-month peer-led process, the first cohort of participants will be organised into two distinct groups under the guidance of mentoring artists
Evan Ifekoya and
Resolve Collective.
These artists will each offer different sonic routes for participants to explore on the airwaves, through a collective process of learning, organising and creating.
No prior broadcasting experience is required, and participants will receive full practical and technical support from the mentoring artists and Arts Catalyst’s podcast producer.
Applicants should ideally be available to attend four sessions overall, taking place online once a month between November 2020 and February 2021, and culminating with a collectively produced sound piece by each group that will be presented on the
Radio Arts Catalyst website between March and June 2021.
