SUMMARY:Counterpoints in Conversation radio series on Resonance FM
DESCRIPTION:Counterpoints in Conversation is a brand new radio series on Resonance FM\, in collaboration with Gaby D’Annunzio.\nListen HERE \nThe broadcast series brings together socially engaged artists\, filmmakers\, writers\, and activists reshaping how we think about displacement\, racial and climate justice and social change. Across six episodes\, we ask how different forms of artistic expression can shift what we believe is possible when imagining a fairer and more just world. \nThe series will be hosted by DJ\, broadcaster\, and curator\, Gaby D’Annunzio. Before working with Counterpoints\, Gaby was based in Berlin\, where she co-founded the Open Music Lab\, a free music production school for marginalised communities\, and served as Head of Community Development at Refuge Worldwide\, a community radio station. As a broadcaster and record collector\, Gaby brings a perspective shaped by years of exploring music scenes and the cultural narratives behind them. Gaby produces Refugee Week on Air at Counterpoints\, the yearly international radio programming marking Refugee Week. \nFollow the conversation across monthly shows\, and you will meet inspiring and talented artists\, covering different experiences of migration and art making. \nThe broadcasts are on the last Friday of each month at 5.30pm\, from 23rd January on Resonance FM at 104.4 FM in central London and online worldwide. \nYou can listen to previous episodes here: \nEpisode 1: in conversation with Ornella Mutoni and Maria Marrone \nEpisode 2: in conversation with MoYah and Carlota Matos \n  \nAbout Gaby D’Annunzio: \n\n\n\n\n\nGaby is a London-based Creative Producer and Broadcaster.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this role\, she works with radio stations and creative partners around the world to platform stories of migration\, solidarity\, and cultural exchange\, while also contributing to the development of the Refugee Week music programme. \n\n\n\n\n\nBefore working with Counterpoints\, Gaby was based in Berlin\, where she co-founded the Open Music Lab\, a free music production school for marginalised communities\, and served as Head of Community Development at Refuge Worldwide\, a community radio station and fundraising platform. \nAs a broadcaster and lifelong record collector\, Gaby brings a perspective shaped by years of exploring music scenes and the cultural narratives behind them. Her work is often inspired by themes of migration\, identity\, and belonging\, and celebrates the many ways these stories are expressed and shared through sound. \nShe is also currently heading up the Refugee Week on Air programme at Counterpoints.

SUMMARY:Flamm x Counterpoints - [Dis]Location Artists Exchange
DESCRIPTION:Counterpoints and Flamm have been working together since the first edition of the Festival in 2023\, when the organisations co-commissioned projects as part of Flamm and Counterpoints’ Platforma Festival in South West in 2023. \nFor Flamm 2026\, we have co-commissioned SHARP’s project Once We Were Held and are working together on an artist exchange to explore the Flamm 2026 theme of [Dis]Location. \nFacilitated by artist Sovay Berriman\, one of the co-commissioned artists in 2023\, three Flamm artists are paired with three Counterpoints artists. \nThe artist pairs are: \n\nKatie Ethridge & Boseda Olawoye\nRachael Jones & Anca Dimofte\nAlice Mahoney & Kaajal Modi\n\nEach pair exchanges on their socially engaged work\, ideas and interests through a series of conversations in the run up to Flamm 2026. These exchanges will be documented and shared online\, and the group will come together for a special episode in Sovay’s Meskla Podcast post Festival. \nWe are also holding a live podcast event during the festival to highlight the conversations around [Dis]Location\, with Sovay Berriman & Liverpool Biennial 2025 Curator Marie-Anne McQuay\, hosted by Jelena Sofronijevic of EMPIRE LINES podcast. \n  \nAbout Sovay Berriman\n \nSovay Berriman is an artist working for 25+ years\, based in Cornwall with a practice spanning sculpture\, drawing\, film\, broadcasting\, research and social learning situations. Sovay’s work reviews and questions systems and structures of power\, challenging us to claim agency and responsibility for the roles we play in the ecosystems we occupy.  \nSovay was the Clore Visual Art Fellow 2023-24\, with a secondment with National Theatre Scotland and a published outcome\, ‘ReWilding Arts Leadership’. In 2023 Sovay was commissioned by Hospital Rooms to make a new permanent commission for Longreach House\, Cornwall Hospitals Trust. Between 2022-25\, Sovay delivered ‘MESKLA | Brewyon Drudh’ a multi-platform project that explored contemporary Cornish cultural identity and its relationship with heritage\, land\, and extraction industries. ‘MESKLA’ was funded by Arts Council England\, Feast and Historic England and encompassed new sculpture and film\, workshops and podcasts and culminated in the 2025 exhibition ‘Catching Copper’ at East Pool Mine in partnership with The National Trust. \nSovay has a long standing commitment to artist-led activity\, including via co-running ‘Agile Structures’ (2020 – 2025) with artist Sara Bowler\, and as consultant and co-director for ALIAS (Artist Led Initiative Advisory Service) 2009-2018.  \nsovayberriman.co.uk\n@sovayberriman \n  \nThe Artist Pairs\n\nKatie Ethridge with Boseda Olawoye\nKatie Etheridge is an artist\, performer and community engagement practitioner with 25 years experience connecting people and places through playful\, inventive and interactive performances and artworks. With her company Small Acts\, Katie creates and produces a diverse range of socially engaged projects working with communities in Cornwall and nationally. Small Acts specialise in connecting people face-to-face to create participatory live art that brings individuals and communities together through small acts that make a big difference. \n \nFind out more about Katie’s Flamm 2026 Project \nBoseda Olawoye (known as Bo) is a Nottingham based independent creative producer/ consultant who is dedicated to making innovative arts projects in collaboration with diverse communities\, young people (13+)\, marginalised groups\, artists and public partners. Her work explores race\, identity\, place and social justice issues. Bo has worked with Beam- Arts for people & places (North)\, INIVA (London)\, Edinburgh Art Festival\, The Imperial War Museum (UK) Counterpoints Arts (London)\, The Evans Foundation(EU)\, idle women (Lancashire) and artist/activist Emory Douglas (USA). \nBoseda was awarded a research grant from the Churchill Fellowship (2023-24) to find out how grassroots black-led arts organisations in Chicago (USA) use creativity as a tool for social change and similar models internationally. \n \n  \nRachael Jones and Anca Dimofte\nRachael Jones is an artist-filmmaker and researcher whose practice often extends to involve others in the filmmaking process. Sometimes participants are objects with their own agency\, and as a result her films are made up of multiple interacting assemblages. Often working with archive images\, she blends old photographs with newly created visuals\, incorporating both analogue and digital formats that create playful tension in her films. Interested in what can come out of research\, embodiment and participation\, Rachael’s films retain traces of process-driven interactions\, using experimental filmmaking\, sound and animation techniques to creatively connect participants with place. She is involved in land-based\, alternative and sustainable practices\, using found materials and handmade processes where possible. \n \nFind out more about Rachael’s Flamm 2026 Project \nAnca Dimofte is a Romanian-born artist living in London\, working across video\, mixed media\, and performance. With a background in documentary filmmaking\, her practice is informed by feminist and social justice struggle\, embodied histories\, and lived experiences of migration. Her work explores how memory\, stories and trauma are carried in the body\, shaping individual and collective doorways for transformation\, solidarity\, and political resistance. \n \n  \nAlice Mahoney and Kaajal Modi\nAlice Mahoney is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice investigates the entangled relationships between materiality\, place\, and human and non-human systems. Her work is grounded in an exploration of ecological and socio-historical interconnectedness\, with particular attention to the layered geographies of post-industrial landscapes and their associated watercourses. \nWorking with clay\, sound\, and found or waste materials\, Mahoney engages with environments understood as cyclical\, impermanent\, and continually shifting. Her sculptural\, research-led processes examine the residues of extractive industry alongside organic\, cultural\, and ecological regeneration\, situating her practice within wider conversations around land use\, memory\, and repair. Through embodied experience\, speculative enquiry\, and collective memory\, she seeks to reimagine how we might reconnect with these places\, foregrounding the potential of art to act as a conduit for relational\, restorative\, and re-enchanted engagements with landscape. \n \nFind out more about Alice’s Flamm 2026 Project \nKaajal Modi is a multidisciplinary artist-educator mediating material engagements with food\, land and water to explore the politics of how humans relate to the world through our bodies and our imaginations. Kaajal works with communities (social\, cultural\, microbial\, technological\, ecological) to explore knowledges on how we live well together in the present\, in ways that can inform speculations about resilient and abundant futures. Her practice is rooted in co-creation\, and incorporates listening\, recording\, fermenting and foraging to create lively and situated encounters between people\, organisms and ecosystems in ways that invite critical reflection and action. \n  \n  \nFlamm is funded by Experience Bodmin through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund; Cornwall Council and Arts Council England\, with Artists Exchange co-supported by Counterpoints and Flamm. \n  \nAbout FLAMM\nflamm noun; plural noun: flammow\n1. flame\n2. also used in flamm nowedh adj. meaning brand new \nFlamm is a visual art-led event that brings internationally and nationally important work to Cornwall\, enables ambitious new work by locally-based artists and engages communities and visitors in its multi-layered programme.
