Radio Insomnia is an invitation to listen with insomnia, rather than against it, for productivity. Drawing on radio as a medium with its qualities for fostering social relations, and night-time as an intimate space for listening, we aim at developing radiophonic devices for night communities.

Radio Insomnia is interested in the political and poetic forces of waking at night, whether by constraint or by choice. Our starting point is that in the extractivist model of our late capitalist society, sleep is depoliticised: unproblematized as a resource for productivity, which is part of a very normative and synchronized schedule driven by labour and moral values.

Created by and for sleepless bodies, Radio Insomnia was born of the collaboration between curator [[https://cargocollective.com/anabelle-lacroix/Info Anabelle Lacroix]] and artist [[https://nimon.org/en Nicolas Montgermont]].

Featuring: Wakefulness as Resistance, Bedtime Stories with Gail Priest, Useless Radio and night territories of transmission with Radio Cegeste, Radio Queen, Hethre Contant and Anabelle Lacroix, Tetsuo Kogawa (from Tokyo), Sounds of Night time protest, David Goren, Post-club techno, Will Johncock, Robert Curgenven, Nocolas Montermont (live from Paris)

Round table discussions, quiet, durational performances. Tea and snacks provided. 228 Illawarra Road, Marrickville – All welcome.
