Radio Against Repression

Coming to you live from a world marching towards boiling point. Caught on camera, caused and broadcast by interwoven technologies of power. Large Language Model (“AI”) movement pattern analysis surveillance cameras have begun to be installed in Berlin, only to be met by a thousand person protest. In parallel, “Chat Control” an EU bill to introduce arbitrary mass surveillance of our devices has recently passed the first round of becoming law. Digging us out of the hypnotic doomscroll that such knowledge can understandably induce we’re joined by Jasmine Guffond, an artist and composer working at the interface of social, political and technical infrastructures, and by Andric Spaeth, an artist and activist pushing the boundaries of aesthetics and technology to challenge social and political conventions such as the police state and technofascism.

From the Bantustans and townships of South Africa to the fractured lands of Palestine, overcoming apartheid has been a struggle across the lines of privilege.

Radio Against Repression is joined live in the studio by the artist Adam Broomberg. As a descendent of Jews who fled the Holocaust but benefited as whites from the apartheid regime in South Africa, Broomberg witnessed the subtle interweaving of Zionist and apartheid ideologies. Adam joins Radio Against Repression to discuss the complex paradoxes of twentieth-century diasporic communities during a period of upheaval that continues to inform the artist’s interrogation of photography’s power, complicity and banality.

On the horrendous occasion of the brutal Israeli and US attacks on Iran, as well as the renewed ground invasion and bombing of Lebanon, we will be joined by Dorna to discuss what has been unfolding over the last week, how this should be interpreted within the colonial imperialist power structure, and what we in the West can do about it.

A discussion around what is happening from a socialist perspective.

A discussion of the artist duo's current show "The Circulation of Labour, Capital and Life as a Supply Chain", that mixes artistic intervention with the permanent artifacts of the Dommuseum Hildesheim. We explore the political expediency of racism both historically and in the context of censorship, defunding and repression in contemporary Germany.

It has been the most striking feature of current political repression in Germany: police brutalizing protesters with extreme force. Especially in Berlin, police violence against political dissidents has become a regular occurrence. But what is behind this violence?

Anabel from the Arrest Documentation Unit (ADU) will be joining R A R live in the studio to discuss the specific role and function that police violence fulfills within systemic state repression in Germany today, starting with the repression of Palestine solidarity and expanding from climate activism to the police violence against anti-AfD protesters in Gießen this weekend.

ADU is one of the publishers of the report Repression Against Palestine Solidarity in Germany, which describes in great detail the different forms of repression utilized by the German state against Palestine solidarity protesters.
