Through a series of residencies, a selection of Peterborough Artists from a range of disciplines have an opportunity to explore audio production and radio broadcasting as a new medium for their artistic process and presentation.

In succession, 6 Artists are each provided with a five-week residency which includes mentorship, gear, training and support towards re-imagining their artistic discipline using the radio as an artistic medium, a vehicle and a stage to share their new works with our community.

Artist's broadcasts to date include:

Textile Artist Melanie McCall's discipline focuses on her collaboration with the natural world. Her work with natural fibres and plant dyes to create cloth collage has been translated through this residency into sound collages made with recordings from local woodlands, wetlands, animal sounds and musical instruments.

Melanie McCall's broadcast premiered on Trent Radio 92.7 CFFF FM Sunday October 17, 2021 at 6 – 7:30 pm
