Radios, resistance, and radical hope - Rebel Resistors Radio Club is broadcasting change. One frequency at a time.
As they build analogue radios, rig up antennas, and send their hopeful manifestos into the world, they ask: Where are we going? Who holds power? And how can we share space in uncertain times?
It’s playful, political, and powerfully personal - a celebration of voice, agency, and imagination.
