Spree ~ Channelsea Radio Group is a project by:
We setup floating sound labs in different locations, as mobile platforms to explore the social, organisational and environmental ecologies of rivers, their shores and inter-tidal zones - specially focused on the Channelsea in London and the Spree in Berlin.
We ran a series of reading~listening sessions both in London and Berlin (together with the Zabriskie Bookshop), along with a series of live radio transmissions bringing the rivers and their people into contact.
We are grateful for the framework and support provided by the Cultural Bridge Fund. Cultural Bridge brings together The Goethe Institue and Arts Council England to create cultural projects between the UK and Germany.
