On International Women’s Day, a moment to think about the experiences of Nguyen Hang, who was interviewed in 2019 for our project. During the war in Vietnam she reported – sometimes under bombardment – from radio studios in Hanoi and from revolutionary bases in the countryside.

The theme for World Radio Day 2023 is ‘Radio and Peace’ focusing on the role of radio as an independent medium of peace making.

HAPPY WORLD RADIO DAY. A 💖 of radio brought our team together to make our project 'Liberation Radio' so today is a special day for us. On Nov 3, 2011, UNESCO declared February 13 as World Radio Day as #OTD the United Nations Radio was first established in 1946.

A 4am workshop start today with participants in Vietnam was aided by strong Vietnamese coffee. ☕️ I really admire the work of #carloginsburg so it was a pleasure to chat about @LibRadioProject in the context of ‘Microhistories’. 💪✊👇

[Matthew Sweet @DrMatthewSweet]

Had to set my alarm for 3.45am to do this - but what a pleasure to link up with students in Saigon to talk about making art from historical sources - particularly when Carlo Ginzburg is providing the frame for the discussion.

[Liberation Radio @LibRadioProject]

Many thanks for inviting us share our project ☺️
Here are some stills taken by Sàn Art team during the workshop.

It was a delight to chat all about ‘Liberation Radio’ today (4am for @blanche_pictures and @DrMatthewSweet) to students of a ‘Micro-Histories’ workshop at Sàn Art, supported by Sàn Art, Konstfack University, Fulbright University Vietnam and the Nguyen Art Foundation.

[Matthew Sweet @DrMatthewSweet]

This will be a treat - a link-up with Saigon to discuss art, archives and anti-war activism. Due to the time difference I may need một ly cà phê lớn.

[Liberation Radio @LibRadioProject]

We’re thrilled to be invited to chat all things ‘Liberation Radio’ at this workshop 23 Oct:
The Lost Tapes: Artistic Approaches to Microhistories’. 📻 More info here:👇
