Conducted via Zoom, the workshop will take place in three sessions. Participants are strongly encouraged to attend all three.
 

May 7, 2025, 6 - 8:00 p.m. EST Collective Listening 
Participants will listen to submissions from an open call assembling audio excerpts from historical and contemporary speeches from leaders such as Benito Mussolini, Augusto Pinochet, Donald Trump, Giorgia Meloni, Javier Milei, Jair Bolsonaro, Elon Musk, but also acoustic traces from our everyday life, such as recordings from peers, events, news outlets, or even quotes from social media read out loud. As a group, listeners will point at and identify returning tropes, and make them available for critical recognition, deconstruction.

May 9, 2025, 6 - 8:00 p.m. EST Resistance Radio
Participants will propose and present materials from historical and contemporary antifascist resistance. These materials will be sourced from the Wave Farm archives as well as from personal and public sound archives: they may include historical speeches, partisan songs, poetry, manifestos, etc. The materials may be already available in audio form, or may be read out loud by participants and recorded during the workshop, in case the audio is not available and the proposed material exists only in textual form.

May 10, 2025, 6 - 8:00 p.m. EST Broadcast Preparation
Participants will draw from the workshop discussions to collectively identify vital nodes and produce an archive for contemporary antifascist resistance which will also inform facilitator Giulia Palladini's introduction to the episode of The Radio Art Hour produced in conjunction with her fellowship. The Radio Art Hour airs weekly on WGXC 90.7-FM and is syndicated to other stations through the Pacifica Network.

Bellow writes: During my residency at Wave Farm I will work on a radio play called one long rock song. I will use my time to create an event score for the play, organize field recordings and sound pieces, and listen. The script/event score will be comprised of different symbols as a citational method for place, event, sounds and story. This work will be attentive to my own relationship to stones through embodied memory and language. Through the play I offer my own experiences, songs, and memories, and dreams, to create sonic interference with the settler logics that reproduce themselves on land. My time will be rounded off with a broadcast of the play.

Riel Bellow is a multidisciplinary artist, educator, writer, and radio-host. They grew up moving around with the seasons and running around markets, between Santa Fe, New Mexico, San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, and Edmonton, Alberta. Across mediums they use storytelling as a mode of documentary that endeavors to break into the sequentiality of modern grammar, opening ethical and temporal possibilities for how and where language takes place. Riel has published work in Canada Art, ẹwà journal, Gender Fail, Vera List Center for Art and Politics, and elsewhere. Riel holds a BA from Pitzer College, an MFA from Bard College’s Milton Avery Graduate School, and has recently taught at Pomona College, and Scripps College.
