Soheil Soheili led Local Voices, Global Airwaves, a one-day radio-production workshop at ZK/U Berlin. It was open to neighbours and to anyone curious about radio as an accessible medium for shared stories, voices and sound. The programme covered how a radio programme is structured, how voice and atmosphere work together, and how to record and do simple editing of audio material. It was built around small-group work on short radio pieces drawing on experiences from Moabit and beyond.

The workshop was public and non-commercial, part of ZK/U’s programme for neighbourhood culture and urban practice, which makes room for exchange, collective listening and the strengthening of participants’ own voices. It was part of the “Neighborhood at ZK/U” series and supported by funding from the programme “Sozialer Zusammenhalt”. The day went well.

The photos below were taken the day before, while the room was being set up: microphones on boom arms, headphones and cables on the tables, studio monitors, and the small glass-walled room at the side of the hall.
