Existing and emitting for two months now, it’s time for r22 Tout-monde to publish a few excerpts from its logbook. Developed by Khiasma and born of a collaboration between several art centers (Le 116 – Montreuil, L’appartement22 – Rabat, le SAVVY Contemporary – Berlin), r22 Tout-monde puts into circulation and shares all types of sound documents in all formats, produced by an ensemble of contributors all over the world. A “webradio of arts and sharing”, it hopes to be a zone of convergence, at the crossroads of the near and the far.
After a successful launch in early June, r22 Tout-monde has already let you discover many countries. It brought the voices of Senegal and Mexico close to home, walked barefoot on the sacred lands of California, rewound its cassettes from Morocco, revealed that fiction is a state secret in Abkhazia, then returned from southeast Asia on the back of a tiger mosquito after a walk on the outside, labyrinthine travels in Greece and a Tunisian revolution. Next? A detour in the Caribbean, where the sand on the beaches is reminiscent of that in ancient arenas,a backlash in Guyana, an oral recapping of the situation in Guinea-Conakry, an e taking on an o (in French e + o = œ which changed the spelling of a family name), to end up discovering that the body is the end of the world (in the physical sense of the word.) But sometimes we don’t have to go so far: did you know that in the Fougères neighborhood, Paris was for a long time part of the countryside?, that the excited team of the Mad Pride came outside to march in the streets, that in Montreuil there are dogs that sing Brel, highways for pedestrians and knee piercers?
No? Well then, for those of you who have just joined us, know that the cruising speed of r22 Tout-monde will adapt to your rhythm and accompany you all summer! And if you want the program, here it is:
