Counterculture, Nature & Visions Zabriskie is a specialised bookshop with a focus on sub/cultural and natural phenomena. It is almost like a private library – because we only present books that they personally value and like. You can find extraordinary things from the fields of natural history, nature writing, ecology and sustainability; gardening, self-sufficiency and DIY; underground music and film; visionary ideas and alternative ways of living; small press and artist publications; idleness and slowness; drugs and consciousness; walking, travelling and places; essays on philosophical and social issues; countercultural movements; strange and occult phenomena; phantastic, imaginary and speculative fiction; landscape and nature poetry.
Archipel Stations Community Radio is happy to host a radio event on the day they celebrate their 8th anniversary, specially because Archipel's first station was set at their shop 3 years ago on December 8th 2018. Also happy this event encompasses Radio Otherwise, an ongoing artistic research project motivated by the many knots which art, knowledge-making/sharing and communication encounter. Thinking and doing radio otherwise means focussing beyond purely anthropogenic transmissions, recognising relationality within the spectrum of more-than-human radio ecologies: the sun's rays, lightning strikes, meteors, the radio memories held in soil from radioactive pollutants. It also means to research and reflect upon alternative histories and forms of radio-making through its complex materialities and multifarious aural traditions; special attention is paid to the spatial qualities of radio and radio-making, from experimenting with nomadic outdoor studios, building small-scale transmission ecologies (Friz), to observing how the frequency spectrum is occupied in place of rich biodiversity (Krause).
