Imagine a radio that sounds different every day...

Radio Art Zone is a joint project by the artist duo Mobile Radio
(Sarah Washington & Knut Aufermann) and the Luxembourg
community station Radio ARA, which broadcast for 100 days
as part of the European Capital of Culture Esch2022.

It was transmitted in the south of Luxembourg on 87.8 FM
as well as streamed online, and relayed by a network of
international partner radios, for a worldwide audience
of more than 250,000 listeners.

The Radio Art Zone schedule consisted of two daily
programmes: newly-commissioned 22-hour radio productions
created by more than 200 international and local artists,
and 2-hour live shows from kitchens in the community.

Additionally Radio Art Zone offered artist residencies,
workshops, youth productions and interventions in public
space, opening up participatory opportunities for residents
and visitors to the Capital of Culture region. It continues
as a public archive and forthcoming radio art book.

This website is now an online exhibition presenting
all 100 of the 22-hour radio artworks, and serves as a
reminder of the general proceedings of the world's
largest celebration of radio art. To listen to the archived
works, please select an artist from the artists menu,
which can be ordered by artist or date as desired.
