« ABA's Air SALON » air salon: the relationship between the characters, the space, the light (summer mix '23)

Radna Rumping is an artist (writer, radio maker) and curator based in Amsterdam, who prefers to act from a fluid and relational position. Her work is engaged with music culture, public space, ways of gathering and conditions of (in)visibility. Radio and sonic explorations have run like a thread through her practice: in 2015 she co-founded Ja Ja Ja Nee Nee Nee, an online radio platform dedicated to the arts.

ABA Air SALON is a radio format produced by Air Berlin Alexanderplatz, a Berlin based artist initiative dealing with the distribution and documentation of forms of collective and experimental knowledge production. The broadcasts come from different locations in Berlin where we organize salons. At these salons we meet with local actors, artists, scientists and other cultural producers to exchange around research based artistic projects and practices. You can find more information about our program at www.airberlinalexanderplatz.de
