The Safina Radio Project is an itinerant space, a boat transformed into a recording studio that navigates the waterways of Venice, transporting passengers from one place to another, acting as a roving platform for expeditions and crossings, reflecting on place but unbounded by locality.
In the midst of travel, passengers are invited to be guests in dialogue, building a journey that is physical and imaginary, exploratory and informative. Untethered by a fixed relation to objects and images, the radio space becomes one for binding different realities and experiences – with participants and listeners prompted by ideas of utopia and oppression, accelerationism, borders, trade and surveillance. A combination of travelogues (conversations) and happenings will interrogate artistic practices, inviting a broad spectrum of artists whose practices draw from a variety of social and political contexts.
