Domestic Broadcasts

Series of broadcast from domestic spaces, London, 2015

In 2015, Radio Anti spent five evenings broadcasting from five different domestic settings, reflecting on domesticity, hospitality and hosting.

Matthew de Kersaint Giraudeau and Ross Jardine explore Heidegger's concept of home through his essay 'Building Dwelling Thinking', the book 'Heidegger's Hut' by Adam Sharr, and the essay, 'Out of Order: Understanding Repair and Maintenance' by Stephen Graham and Nigel Thrift, along with home themed music from Wiley, Talking Heads, Half Man Half Biscuit and many more.

Radio Anti talk pubs with Christopher Rountree. We discuss the historical development of the idea of the pub - from public houses where people sold their own home brewed ale, through the era of the Victorian Pub, to the modern day chain pub, 'Pubcos' and JD Wetherspoon. The discussion is lubricated by drinking songs old and new, and a few bottles of supermarket lager.

Radio Anti speak to Nozomi Nakabayashi and others at Make Work Space, a self built studios in East London. We talk to Nozomi about her previous architectural projects, which include tree houses, cabins and sheds. We discuss the practice of building dwellings, the limitations - both physical and legislative - that shape those dwellings, and how the built environment shapes the way we live.

Andrea Francke leads Radio Anti and Eva Rowson through a history of feminist critiques and reappraisals of domesticity. We talk about second wave feminism, black and third world feminism and hear recordings of female musicians and feminist writers approaching the idea of the domestic.

Radio Anti is hosted by 38b, the gallery run by Luke Drozd and Eva Rowson in their flat in Peckham. Eva takes over presenting duties to host a programme of music, performance and discussion with invited friends and a public audience to celebrate the power of what it means to 'just do it' in your own space.
