migration, art, anthropology, sound, locality, activism, citizen.
In this occasion nomadic Radio will present the track of the sound experimental band POMELO that was made in the past exhibition REVERSE MANTRA in ZÖNOTÉKA Gallery Berlin in collaboration with the artist Gabriela Těthalová .
POMELO works with a relationship between visual art, visual anthropology and sound landscapes, experimenting with sound and electronic formats. By not reproducing prewritten compositions, the band is especially interested in the creative process of sound and music as a space enabling to reflect upon questions of human and technical agency as well as connections of each member and their role in creative process.
POMELO connects electronic devices, acoustic instruments, field recordings, nature tone-material, mingled with processed samples of different musical genres. With each of these elements the compositions reflect the group’s interest in experimentation, trial and error and a constant movement and flow of sound.

Nomadic Radio is open to sound artists and to all those who are interested in a new way of recording migratory experiences.
nomadicArt is a cultural platform offering diverse creative and artistic activities, which aim to help newly arrived citizens to enter the public arena despite legal obstacles restricting their mobility and inclusion in social life. The workshops and events are facilitated by nomadicArt and are co-created by migrants both with a professional artistic background and without. They provide a safe space for exchange and action. Besides, nomadicArt aims to connect and include various stakeholders from society: migrants, refugees, activists, researchers, volunteers and other actors in the close neighborhood.
Our group is currently composed of artists, designers, anthropologists, curators and art theorists who live in Berlin.
