RADIO SLUMBER is a three-part aural brew and online grimoire that casts its gaze out from a closed-door coven of potluck workshops + secret societies + spa retreats + fests of slumber. (ᴀᴋᴀ …𝓹𝔀𝓼𝓼𝓼𝓻𝓯𝓼…) that took place at Motel Spatie in the winter of 2020. One year later, the mixed media herbs and processes complete a slow brew of deep listening, woven together with the formats of storytelling, conversation, music and other audio experimentation ripened by diasporic fermentation. Strategically dissecting cultural theorist Rey Chow’s ‘fascist longings in our midst’, RADIO SLUMBER’s audio book of spells whispers gossip about the accidents of intersectionalism, and explores—via the foundation of friendship—other practices of care from both near and far.
