This event evolves around Anna Bromley’s publication I Speak Radio, exploring the use of radio as a collaborative practice. The book is published as part of the series Scriptings: Political Scenarios in collaboration with Archive Books (print) and EECLECTIC (E-Book). 

Anna Bromley has been a long-time contributing artist for reboot.fm, where she invited artists, activists, and cultural researchers into the radio studio to explore language and voice in the context of sound, politics, and everyday life. What began as an artists’ radio research format has developed over the years into a series of exhibition pieces focusing on radio and its visible and invisible transmission bodies. Publishing a selection of her radiophonic essays for the first time, I Speak Radio reflects Bromley’s collaborative radio practice. The publication also provides insight into the corresponding exhibition formats of these projects, including cooperations with a large number of artists, activists, radio makers, and theorists. An index of images and texts on Bromley’s other artistic works is inserted into the book. 

During the event Bromley is in conversation with artist and media activist Diana McCarty as well as with artists and editors of the publication, Achim Lengerer and Michael Fesca. Throughout the event excerpts and a variety of radio voices will be shared with the audience.

Due to the 2025 Berlin Half Marathon, between 4–6 April there are road closures in the area. HKW is fully accessible via public transport—S-Bahn (Hauptbahnhof) and U-Bahn (Bundestag)—and via bike or on foot.
