Radio-Choreography: Acts of Transmission
Performative Sound Exhibition
Badischer Kunstverien, Karlsruhe, Germany
20.06-01.09.2024
Radio-Choreography Acts of Transmission is Netta Weiser’s first institutional solo exhibition in Germany. Combining sound, radio, participatory acts and live performance, this exhibition explores the body as an archive, as an archaeological site, unfolding its capacity to encompass a multitude of temporalities and types of knowledge. How can we listen to the silenced histories we carry in our bodies?
The show centres around a three-part sound installation interweaving sounds of Jewish-Moroccan dance, blessings songs and choreographic poetry. This multi-channel sound experience is the result of diverse modes of collaboration with choreographer Shira Eviatar, researcher and vocalist Vanessa Paloma Elbaz and choreographer, performer, and writer Nora Amin. During the timeframe of the exhibition the installation is activated with a series of performative interventions, live radio broadcasts, workshops, film screening, talks and listening acts.

The program is run in collaboration with Querfunk Freies Radio Karlsruhe, reboot.fm, the University of Arts and Design, Karlsruhe, and COLA TAXI OKAY.
Supported as part of the project funding programme for media art of the UNESCO City of Media Arts Karlsruhe and by Artis, New York.
The entire Atrium of the Kunstverein is transformed into a performative sound space and a living archive. The audience is invited to experience intimate encounters with subversive forms of knowledge, allowing them to reverberate through their bodies, and carry them forward into the future. The exhibition claims new spaces of resonance for bygone dance and healing practices, emitting waves of collaborative survival, and re-writing a history of female Jewish-Muslim solidarities.
