Sisters Akousmatica is a collaborative, expanded radio project exploring the radical possibilities of transmission since 2015. We weave projects in, around, with and for radio. Our work is concerned with collective, queer, feminist radio practices and auditory-spatial exploration.
As a vehicle for on-going research and discrete projects, Sisters Akousmatica have worked with artists and communities in Australia and worldwide. Our conceptual enquiries into the nature of radio take the form of physical installations, sound works, radio broadcasts, experiments in transmission and reception, public and private performances, writing, online works, interventions in public space, radio wave embodiments, lectures, workshops and so on. We are interested in subversion, subterfuge, transmitting little-heard voices, and exploring the edges of ‘legitimate’ broadcast.
