"refuse: military.01" (2021) by Meira Asher
In the first installment of “refuse: military,” Meira Asher addresses the compulsory military service requirement facing young Israelis and the violence they are tasked with carrying out against their Palestinian neighbors. We hear Noam Gur, a conscientious objector who had recently received jail time for her refusal to enter the army. Asher also interweaves recordings from footage of soldiers arresting Palestinian children. The piece was released in 2014, commissioned by Saout Radio and airing on the Austrian program Kunstradio. In 2015 it won the Nova Radio Art award from Irish station RTÉ Lyric FM.

"Earth Police" (1994) by Leonard Fisher
Earth Police by Leonard Fisher was developed from a live performance Leonard Fisher did at The Banff Centre for the Arts during Radio Rethink. Radio Rethink was a 1994 radio art exhibition and event with accompanying book and CD that I have found to be a helpful resource. In the text, Leonard Fisher writes, “Earth Police is a concept I have been mulling over as a conceptual explanation of what aboriginal people are doing right now in defense of their homelands and territories. They are being Earth Police, monitoring expansion and resource development....I was rethinking radio in terms of waves and energy...I was opening up to the spirits about who I was, what I was about, and trying to receive messages from what was around me...Radio is a tool and a place but it is also a transformational thing.” Fisher adds, “In 1989, I said to myself I am not going into the next century suppressed or under the influence of anybody other than my own community.” After five years of artistic involvement in the Canadian art world and a year after making Earth Police, Leonard Fisher returned to his community in Chilliwack, BC. Chilliwack, B.C. has become a widely-known site of indigenous resistance. In 2020, the Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs are maintaining an eviction order to Coastal GasLink to leave the traditional territories of the Wet'suwet'en. Since 2010 land defenders have created camps to prevent Coastal GasLink workers from building a pipeline on these unceded territories.

The Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive is an online resource and broadcast series on Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM, which is syndicated to stations across the country through The Radio Art Hour. It aims to identify, coalesce, and celebrate historical and contemporary international radio artworks created specifically for terrestrial AM/FM/Shortwave broadcast, whether it be via commercial, public, community, or pirate transmission. The archive is a product of Wave Farm's Radio Artist Fellowship.

Radio artists explore broadcast radio space through a richly polyphonous mix of practices, including poetic resuscitations of conventional radio drama, documentary, interview and news formats; found and field sound compositions reframed by broadcast; performative inhabitations/embodiments of radio’s inherent qualities, such as entropy, anonymity and interference; playful celebrations/subversions of the complex relationship between senders and receivers, and the potential feedback loops between hosts and layers of audience, from in-studio to listeners at home to callers-in; use of radio space to bridge widely dispersed voices (be they living or dead), subjects, environments and communities, or to migrate through them in ways that would not be possible in real time and space; electroacoustic compositions with sounds primarily derived from gathering, generating and remixing radiophonic sources. Note: Wave Farm continues to expand this definition of radio art through engagement with contemporary practices including those revealed by Wave Farm Artists-in-residence, and the Radio Art Fellowship program.
