(2013) An artistic radio project by Mirjam Bürgin, Jörg Köppl and Philipp Schaufelberger /
in collaboration with Artellewa / Cairo /
"radio lewa" is an artistically designed community radio in a traditional neighborhood in the middle of Giza/Cairo. In workshops with neighborhood residents and young artists, we experiment with language and everyday sounds. The radio studio is an open production space. Quiz shows and competitions among local Shaabi musicians take place, a guitar improvises to an interview with an activist or a theater hides in the alleys of Ard el Lewa. The results of a choir project are broadcast, a computer-controlled composition interacts with the rhythms and voices of everyday life and a sewing machine becomes a musical instrument.
