RADIO: RE-INVENTION AND LOCALITY
24.09 | 18.30 | Goethe-Institut Portugal em Lisboa
Ed Baxter | Diana McCarty | João Almeida
The global village is changing the landscape and fusing reference  
points (the same music, food, brands are everywhere). Radio, as a  
social medium, has a chance, more than ever, to re-invent itself and  
focus more on becoming a catalist for local cultural actions and  
promotion. New local radio movements, opened up to artists, have make  
themselfs more noticed these last years under this same focus.  
National Radios dedicated to culture have also, comming from another  
angle, started to work under this ideas.

lowered barriers for radio creation and transmission. So, how does  
these are being used by artists and what new approaches to radio are  
being pursued. In fact, in this new context, what is Radio?
