*Radio Insomnia*
7-9 July 2023 - Tiohtià:ke/Montréal
A dilation of night and a tightening of the ear
https://insomnia.radio.fm
Radio Insomnia is an ephemeral radio station for insomniacs and
nocturnal communities, that explores the poetic and political aspects of
wakefulness and insomnia. What is the potential of night-time radio when
wakefulness is embraced rather than endured? Can we listen "with"
insomnia, rather than fight against it for productivity? Why loosen the
grip on insomnia when we can tighten our ear?
Broadcast live from 9 pm to 6 am, programs unfold over two nights until
6 am, with performed works by Montreal-based artists, sonic artworks and
discussions with special guests who explore the social implications of
wakefulness at night: chrono-normativity, solitude and isolation,
intimacy, the poetic experience of dilated time and the reappropriation
of nocturnal time in public space.

*About*
Radio Insomnia is a collaboration between French curator Anabelle
Lacroix and radio artist Nicolas Montgermont. The project is created
during a residency and as a public program that responds to the
exhibition InSomnolence developed by The Sociability of Sleep research
group at McGill University and Université de Montreal, as the result of
two years of research and creation activities supported by the
Government of Canada’s New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF).
