On 26th April, we hosted an 'art chat' at Tate Modern, as part of their series Tate Lates. The theme of the event was 'sonic disruption', to coincide with the launch of Aura Satz's Preemptive Listening film earlier in the week and the Yoko Ono exhibition on display. 

During the chat, we offered some thoughts on DIY methods, collectivity and sharing. There were lots of engaging questions from the audience, and the room was packed! The talk was also live-streamed, and is now archived on Tate's YouTube (we're on at 01:14:30).

Cooinciding with their exhibition, Tate Britain hosted a two-day conference on performance-based arts, sound and moving image practices that were an integral part of feminist creative and campaigning activities of the 1970s and 1980s.

Shortwave Collective presented as part of the Beyond Her Noise: Feminisms and the Sonic panel, convened by Creative Research into Sound Arts (CRiSAP). Our contribution took shape as a performance-talk where the four of us able to be there in person took it in turns to read a new paper, collectively authored for the event, with amplified interjections from Shortwave members contributing remotely.

We also riso-printed 100 Open Wave-Reciever how-to zines and gave these away at the welcome desk - these were much appreciated!
