LJUBICA LETINIĆ and BLOK: Radio BAZA
one-day radio station
June 13, 2017
93.9 MHz, broadcasting from Adžijina 11
In the context of the crisis in reporting, the explosion of fake news and the narrowing of the existing field of radio reducing it to entertainment industry, the very premise of radio art becomes a challenge. That is why we are launching a pilot edition of Radio BAZA that brings together a number of artists, radiophonists, researchers, activists, musicians and the local community at Zagreb's Trešnjevka, insisting on the return to the original promise of this media.
We use the radio media as a tool for spreading critical thinking about the contemporary housing problem, but also as a space for radiophonic and art experiments. We approach the issue of housing from a feminist perspective, placing into focus the kitchen as a place of exploitation of women. We talk about the problem of invisible household work with the members of the feminist collective F.AKTIV. With historian Tamara Bjažić Klarin, we discern the ground plans of Zagreb’s kitchens and their connection with the regressive, but also progressive understanding of the role of women in society. Between the talks, we listen to experimental-documentary vignettes from Trešnjevka kitchens, feminist poetry and feminist music. On the waves of Radio BAZA, we will hear a diary of activist Ljerka, who, from 1943 to 1945, regularly broadcasted partisan radio from one of Trešnjevka’s attics. A woman is also the main protagonist of the poem Hedgehog’s home, which is performed, rustled and played live from Adžijina.
Listen to us at 93.9 Mhz!
