radioart106_#117_Fearless Speech.
Part of the series fearless radio curated by Anna Raimondo and Younes Baba Ali who initiated the sound and radio art platform Saout Radio in Morocco. Broadcasted by Kunstradio ORF on 2 March 2014.
This program deals with the reality of minors in militarised societies. From the minds of teenagers who refuse to serve in the Israeli army (in the new piece 'refuse: military. (01), to the experience of female ex-child combatants in Sierra Leone.
Challenged by Foucaoult's concept of Parrhesia, this program transmits the words / voices of these minors:
'… it is a verbal activity in which the subject express his personal relation to truth taking the risk of life because he recognizes that telling the truth is his own duty in order to improve or help other people. In Parrhesia the speaker uses his freedom and chooses truth instead of lie, death instead of life and security, criticism instead of flattery, duty instead of interest and selfishness…" (Michel Foucault Audio Archive. Discourse and Truth: Parrhesia, 1983).
Segments from three separate projects are complied here: refuse: military. (01) (2014), Infantry (2002), and Face_WSLOT (2004-06) featuring: Issa Amro, Guy Harries, Floy Krouchi, Paul Kendall, Noam Gur, Anita Jackson, Mahade Pako, Chris Conteh, Yan Keller.
Radioart106FM explores works of worldwide radio artists. Radio Art is a subset of Sound Art where Radio Art is produced for the medium of radio and is specifically intended for broadcast. It opens new ways and approaches to radio making, where the audience is assumed to embrace, or even demand, a deep, intense and stimulating listening/participatory experience.
