Sonic Lit: A SpokenWeb Radio Show is a bi-weekly radio show on CJLO, the campus radio station of Concordia University (Tiohtià:ke/Montreal, Canada). On air since September 2024, the show features “sound recordings from 1888 to the present that document times when people have whispered, spoken, howled and screamed literature out loud” (“Sonic Lit”). Co-hosted by us – Jason Camlot and Katherine McLeod – the radio show is an extension of our collaborative and creative research about “new sonic approaches in literary studies” (McLeod and Camlot). Prior to stepping into the booth, we had imagined the show as a curation of audio recordings as catalogued by SpokenWeb researchers working with various community and institutional holdings of literary audio across the network. However, as the show began, we had to sort out how the definition of “spoken word” as understood by regulatory bodies in Canadian radio intersects with “spoken word” as understood by poets and scholars of poetry recordings. Making audio for radio turned out to be a vastly different experience than making audio for podcasts such as this podcast, The SpokenWeb Podcast. We soon realized that our radio show was a performative exploration of a set of research questions relating to the affordances of radio for “literary listening” (Camlot). For example, what are the affordances of radio as compared to a podcast when it comes to sharing and discussing literary audio? How does spoken word poetry register in relation to other discursive forms on the radio? How do we as hosts perform "talk radio" in talking about poetry? And what is our sense of audience when on air? What does listening sound like on the radio? We produced this audio, "Listening on the Radio," as a radio-show-as-podcast-episode to answer these questions and others – out loud. ReferencesCamlot, Jason. “Toward a History of Literary Listening.” ESC: English Studies in Canada, vol. 46 271.2, 2020 (published in 2023), p. 263-271. https://ojs.lib.uwo.ca/index.php/esc/article/view/17421Camlot, Jason and Katherine McLeod.

On this edition of the Art in Action interview series Mexico City based artist Daniel Aguilar Ruvalcaba's speaks about contributions to a collective exhibition at Biqini Wax ESP during art week in Mexico, 2024. Daniel's work explores ideas and expressions through frenetic drawings and sketches that are shaped by understandings of the world and humanity as an experience of multitudes not a world shaped by a universal framework of conception. Biqini Wax ESP is a collectively run art space in Navate district in Mexico City that has long explored the creative intersections of art and activism within the space in both militant and playful modes. This interview explores, in conversation, Daniel's work as relating to the realities of the survival of pre colonial cultural narratives and artistic landscapes that continue to shape Mexico. The cultural multiplicity that exists in Mexico that can been understood as standing as an existing challenge to the sustaining dominant frameworks of universalism that continue to define the major narrative arcs of mainstream artistic practice in western Europe and North America. Daniel specifically speaks about Mexican cultural modes that challenge the notion of death as shaped by dark forces, while articulating reflections about alternative cultural vantage points of looking to death as a pathway to listen to the voices and heritages of the past, of ancestors, a cultural framework within which death can be best understood a bridge that connect you to eternities. The accompanying artwork is by Daniel, photos taken by Stefan. Music on this program is "Passage" by Anarchist Mountains.

For this edition of the Art in Action interview series I am featuring a conversation with printmaker Christeen Francis a long time collaborator. In this conversation we hear about the exchange of paper and ideas that lead to a series of pasted up street art collaborations in Montreal. Christeen speaks about the symbolism of the animals featured in the prints and the impact of paper based street art as part of a layer of process surrounding building support for social movements struggling for transformative change both locally and globally. Christeen speaks about the collaboration toward a poster focused on supporting a group of non-status Guinean asylum seekers in Canada who are collectively struggling for their asylum claims to be recognized and to be granted status as refugees in Canada.
