Radio Frida

In a world ravaged by endless war, climate collapse and the rise of fascism, what if the radio is not a relic but a tool of revolution for the future? At the site of the former ‘Reichssender Wien’, a workshop with ISSA (the Island School of Social Autonomy) creates Radio Frida – a name that recalls the German word for peace, ‘Frieden’, as well as the title of a famous post-Yugoslav pop song. ISSA is an international school on the Croatian island of Vis that tries out and cultivates forms of exchanging knowledge and autonomy as political strategy. This is its first guest visit to Vienna. The two-day workshop entails both practical and theoretical experiments with pirate radio technology. Setting out from previous emancipatory uses of radio, we revive the practices of urban pirate radio, rethink and implement them. It is time to use the radio waves for a global wave of resistance – for a world that rests on justice, equality and love.
With representatives of ISSA – Island School for Social Autonomy (Bitnik Media Group, Gordan Savičić, Selena Savić, Saša Savanović, Marko Pogačar, Srećko Horvat and others)

The goal of the residency is to develop a convivial tool: a prototype for a small-scale water collection and distribution system that combines traditional cistern technology and modern innovations, alongside community engagement on the island of Vis. The project will take into account the local context, the Mediterranean climate affected both by climate crisis and overtourism, which strain the island’s natural water resources.
