sounds, silences, movements

This is the blog of the ‘sounds of movement’ radio show we’re currently producing from Vienna, Austria on a monthly basis, based on interview and research materials from all over.

During this monthly hour, we’re looking at social movements and practices of commoning and struggling for other worlds, while analysing the current context of multiple crises (social, economic, reproductive, ecological, representational, etc). What does movement sound like? Sometimes it’s damn loud, sometimes veeery subtle and silent. We want to learn different ways of listening here. The point here is to discover new and inspiring political practices, share tools and discuss experiences and strategies – quite humbly and with bits of funky music! The sounds of movement are brought to you through voices of people working on other forms of economy, democracy, conviviality, social relations… We combine reports from movements with analysis of economic and political dynamics (capitalist crisis, debt, basic income, social rights, …), looking across Europe but also beyond. You may hear english, spanish, german, french, swahili, danish, slovenian, bosnian… we don’t always translate every word, so tune into the texture of voices!

You can find out what languages our shows feature by looking at the beginning of the summary texts [ENG, DE, ES, SLO, etc…]

We broadcast every first wednesday of the month at 4pm, on the Vienna free radio: Radio Orange (FM 94.0)
livestream
and also on Radio Helsinki (FM 92.6), the Graz free radio, every 4 weeks – always on a thursday (check their programme to find out).
