Dear Friends
Celestial Radio is making her sixth voyage sailing into Greece to
broadcast for the people of Thessaloniki, as part of 'PRAXIS, Art in
Times of Uncertainty, the 2nd Thessaloniki Biennale'.
The newly commissioned sound work A Celestial Odyssey Exploring the
spirit of protest, play and creativity from ancient times to now the
celestialnauts search for moments of joy and inspiration in Thessaloniki.
Weaving there way through Dionysian Ritual, to Internetic Feather
fights, the crew of the Celeste join forces with the Argonauts in search
of the Golden Fleece and the Zealots as they battle for a people’s
republic. They find moments when the city reads as an example of
cultural equilibrium, and highlights how the manifestation of revolution
or celebration has led the way. Music from early pirate radio and
contemporary tracks by musicians based in Thessaloniki are mixed with
interviews by historians and creative thinkers.
A Celestial Odyssey is Curated by Gabriela Salgado
2nd Thessaloniki Biennale 20 May to 24 Sept
