Solstice Radio
24 hour radio broadcast, 21st-22nd June 2025
We are excited to have been invited by Pam Common Art Collective to curate their annual solstice broadcast this year! Pam is an artist-run collective working at a grassroots level to support an ecosystem of inclusive artistic activity in East Cardiff.
Over 24 hours of the summer solstice, we will share discussions and metaphorical recipes of ritual listening from community collaborators, readings of feminist and transmission texts, livestreams from handmade radio receivers, and a programme of guest works.
