Race Matters x Yung Prodigy / Rivers of Memory

From the rivers of Peru, the mountains of Gyeonggi-do, to the Cumberland Highway, exploring what it means to be and live and remember in relation to place.

Our first episode in collaboration with abolitionist youth organisation Yung Prodigy, after a mentorship exploring radical radio from the roots up. Two debut works by Lucy Norton and a newfound colalbroation between Leya and Sehej Kaur Sehmbhi. The many sounds, textures and frays that tether us to place, family or memory.

SOIL was a radio mentorship designed for young people through the model of liberatory radio and community-centred health. It spanned 6 workshops, shared meals, new friendships and new audio ventures.
