Our Movements Are Loud (radio play)

Working together across privilege

"Our Movement Is Loud" is an experimental radioplay in 4 channels, and was made as part of the "Choreographies Of The Social" Exhibition in Stockholm in 2019. Our Movement Is Loud produced collectively by people with and without Danish citizenship. They are linked to each other through their experience of the asylum system in Denmark. The audio installation consists of different perspectives, positions and voices that coincide in a story about the fight against expulsion. These interwoven stories take place in an imaginary scenario and are told by activists working inside and outside the asylum camps. The stories in the radio play are based on real events that have taken place in asylum camps, airplanes and in larger protests that The Bridge Radio and its network has participated. The process of creating the radio play started with a workshop in writing and drama for radio with writer Athena Farrokhzad, director Saga Gärde and sound designer Arash Pandi.
