On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from community organizer Bill Van Driel. Bill speaks about experiences during the major protests against the G20 in Toronto in relation to the police and legal repression that was experienced by the protesters. Bill contextualizes this moment within a continuum of both protest actions taking place during this period against closed door international summits around the world, largely demonstrations focused on opposing the inherent inequality of capitalism. Also Bill places the repression that protest movements experienced within a realistic framework of understanding these moments of heightened police repression as reflected by media coverage that doesn't focus on the larger systemic mechanisms of social control and repression. Today Bill works with Solidarity Across Borders and has played a meaningful role in bridging anti-capitalist and migrant justice organizing spaces. This interview took place within the context of building discussions on the threat posed by a rising political support for the Conservative Party of Canada and what that means for social movements as well as vulnerable communities. This interview program is supported in 2025 by the Social Justice Centre at Concordia University. The music track is Passage by Anarchist Mountains.

On this edition of Cultural workers for Palestine we speak with artist Shellyne Rodriguez. Shellyne is a Bronx based artist, educator and community activist. In this conversation we talk about the ways that solidarity can be both expressed and built between internal and external colonies to American imperialism. Shellyne outlines the ways that the Bronx, due to historical marginalization and patterns of racialized migration, is a key example of what the dynamics of internal colonialism are in the United States context. Shellyne outlines this point in relation to why expressions of understanding and also action in solidarity with Palestine, as both an artist and cultural worker is important.

Broadcast in full on Radio AlHara on Sunday, Oct. 27 at 4pm eastern / 11pm Palestine time, streaming at radioalhara.net This is the write-up on the project: The next chapter in the ongoing artistic conversation between two friends, shaped and built upon live improvisations weaving instruments, radio captures, and punctuated by binaural field recordings of cityscape walks. Joseph's synth work enhances circular, frantic guitar lines laid by Stefan as footsteps ground the work in a natural rhythm of bodies resonating with stimuli of time and space. Two lives intersecting in a room - mourning the dead, raging against injustices, channelling homeland lullabies to synthesize healing waves to pass forward. “Take a walk at night, and walk so silently that the bottoms of your feet become ears.” – Pauline Oliveros

On this edition of Cultural workers for Palestine we hear from author and educator Zahra Ali who wrote the critically important book "Women and Gender in Iraq: Between Nation-Building and Fragmentation" Zahra speaks about the connections and parallels between the reality on the ground in Palestine today and the media narratives that devalue and dehumanize Palestinian life. Zahra connects this reality to the post 9/11 political atmosphere that worked to undercut and dehumanize Iraqi lives, the cultural context that created conditions for the 2003 invasion.

Paysages sonores du Portugal by Diana Duta and Stefan Christoff Broadcast on Radio Panik, Bruxelles, 1er octobre à 12h00 https://www.radiopanik.org/emissions/l-heure-de-pointe/paysages-sonores-du-portugal-juillet-2024/ Radio Campus Bruxelles, 21/10/2024 – 16h https://www.radiocampus.be/creation-radiophonique-21-10-2024-16h-paysages-sonores-du-portugal-juillet-2024-diana-duta-et-stefan-christoff/ Radio AlHara, Bethlehem, Palestine, 03/11/2024 - 18h http://radioalhara.net This mix came together after being in touch with sound artist Diana Duta. I recalled a conversation we had last year over a coffee in Brussels after we joined a Palestine solidarity protest together. We talked about how creating experimental non corporate sounds can possibly create ruptures in the flow of the hyper colonial capitalist death machine that is aiming to commodify everything. The soundscape blends together my own recordings from a visit I made to Portugal with my family in 2024, and Diana's recordings from the 25th of April, which marked the 50 year anniversary of the Carnation Revolution in Portugal - a symbol of independence and freedom. It is really about listening and arriving at a solidarity that is about being open, also about taking action, but also reflecting in real time beyond the noise of colonial capitalist power that is trying to always occupy our minds. Ce mix est né après avoir pris contact avec l'artiste sonore Diana Duta, basée à Bruxelles. Je me souviens d'une conversation qu'on a eu autour d'un café à Bruxelles, après avoir participé ensemble à une manifestation de solidarité avec la Palestine en 2023. Après la marche, on est allées prendre un café avec notre amie commune Julia E. Dyck. On a continué notre conversation, en parlant de la manifestation et de la façon dont nous pouvons, en tant qu'artistes, trouver des moyens pour exprimer notre soutien pour la Palestine. Ces questionnements ont fait egalement partie de ce moment, et la conversation a portée sur la façon dont la création de sons expérimentaux non corporatifs peut éventuellement créer des ruptures dans le flux de la machine capitaliste hyper coloniale, qui vise à tout marchandiser et tout ettoufer. J'ai apprécié la façon dont Diana et Julia ont été presentes et ont vraiment écouté. Track listing (artist name / track name) 01.

Listen to an interview with Sara and Rodrigo from the Landra collective speaking about their involvement in the Sismógrafo art space in Porto, Portugal. The interview is centred on a project that took place in the summer of 2024 to open up a community reading group with a list co-curated by Palestinian artist and filmmaker Jumana Manna. The reading list aimed to highlight historical critiques of imperial based practices of political, economic and cultural control over people's relationship to land, from Portugal historically going back to the Roman imperial period, to the last centuries of Portugal as a violent colonial force. Critically the reading list also looks at the centrality of the Palestinian relationship to land in the context of the struggle against Israeli settler colonialism in Palestine today. For more information about Jumana visit: https://www.jumanamanna.com Info on the Landra project here: http://www.landra.pt Info on Sismógrafo here: https://sismografo.org This interview series hosted by Stefan Christoff airs on the first Monday of each month on Radio AlHara at 5:30pm, Palestine time, 10:30am eastern time.

Artists and tenants under attack by real estate monsters A live community broadcast on CKUT 90.3 FM Saturday, Sept. 14, 2024 2-4pm live on CKUT 90.3FM on Funky Revolutions 5500 Saint Hubert Montreal Full info https://docs.google.com/document/d/1403LG70YxIGlVUr68qC9Wv5MkLjzQI18Rt95dbdT680/edit?usp=sharing A discussion co-hosted by Stefan Christoff and Khalid M'Seffar of Funky Revolutions, the weekly program on CKUT 90.3 FM program that hosted this show. Speakers: Lauren Laframboise, Vanier Scholar and PhD student at the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling (COHDS) (profile page) and the External Affairs Officer for the Concordia Research and Education Workers' Union (CREW–CSN). Kiva Stimac, the general and artistic director of the Suoni per il Popolo festival. Asher Woodhead, a Concordia student and independent musician (Doldrums / Crasher) Catherine Bodmer, a visual artist and General Director of RCAAQ (Regroupement des centres d'artistes autogérés du Québec) A Solidarity Economy Incubation Zone (SEIZE) researcher who co-authored the report “From Crisis to Consensus: A survey of 60 housing groups from across Canada,” looking at the state of the housing justice movement in Québec and Canada. CKUT 90.3 FM's production coordinator Spencer Gilley is the broadcast engineer. Photographer Amru Salahuddien took photos and the Social Justice Centre at Concordia University supported this project. This community radio broadcast to looks at the ways that real estate monsters are attacking independent artists in the context of an unprecedented housing and space affordability crisis in the city and beyond. This broadcast took place at 5500 St. Hubert, a space that has served for years as a gathering point for independent artists. The location is currently the locale for a thriving independent arts network, including multiple small visual arts studios and music rehearsal locations. This address is inhabited by cultural workers with creative practices not defined by mainstream art market paradigms. Today this location, a former potato chip factory, is slated for demolition by UTILE, a company aiming to construct private student condo units. This process also involves massive amounts of public funding (report), as $21.4 million is going to the company just from the city of Montréal, for a larger process that involves few mechanisms for full accountability or democratic access to the decision making of the company. UTILE claims to be creating accessible student housing while the company is making massive profits and has little meaningful track record of creating truly affordable non-market student housing that is safe from rising rents in the long term. In the context of the current housing crisis market driven projects are not the solution. Today students and other communities who are dealing with precarious housing are being presented with false market oriented projects that are billed as solutions. Non-market housing options, like the urgent need for public financial support for co-op housing from all levels of government, is a key element to building any real long term solutions. Demolishing affordable artist studios, where many students and community members work, thrive and create is what UTILE is doing in this case and this is unacceptable.

Capitalism's sacrifice of humanity: An interview series produced for broadcast on Free City Radio by Stefan Christoff in consultation and collaboration with Max Haiven, for broadcast on Free City Radio. This program is the second in a series of 3 interviews that aim to examine contemporary capitalism as dependent on economic models that necessitate large levels of human sacrifice. These programs are supported by the ReImagining Value Action Lab (RiVAL) at Lakehead University in Ontario, Canada. A series of voices that speak to both the frontlines of struggles that are confronting the realities of colonial capitalism that speaks to the fact that humans are being rendered up for sacrifice to capitalism. Palestine is an example and also the prison industrial complex. On this edition we speak with Max Haiven who outlines some of the research shared in "Palm Oil: The Grease of Empire" a book published by Pluto Press. Max also speaks about the importance of building cultural understanding around the fact that capitalism in the current format is inherently tied to a reliance of sacrificial populations and looks into the example of prisoners. For more information on Palm Oil: The Grease of Empire visit: https://www.plutobooks.com/9780745345826/palm-oil Accompanying music is by Anarchist Mountains.

Palestine is an example and also the prison industrial complex. On this edition we speak with scholar Keren Wang, author of "Legal and Rhetorical Foundations of Economic Globalization: An Atlas of Ritual Sacrifice in Late-Capitalism." Keren points to layers of analysis in relation to the world economy today that illustrate the inherently sacrificial nature of capitalism, specifically we speak about the fast fashion industry and the example of the textile industry fires at Rana Plaza in Bangladesh. Also we speak about the ways that the military industrial complex corporations benefit from the brutal war against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
