Women On The Line is joined by Sista Zai Zanda, organiser of a special live radio event, Revelations. We explore what it means to be of African descent in a colonised world, and how art and poetry can lift and take space to re-imagine these identities in Australia today. This show features poetry, spoken word and dub poetry from a radio event in collaboration with the Pan Afrikan Poets Cafe, hosted at 3CR studios in Melbourne.
On Sunday 19 June, the Pan Afrikan Poets Café broadcast live from the station at 21 Smith Street, Fitzroy. 'Revelations And Radical Radio' was a 3-hour live-to-air program of spoken word and music featuring new, cutting edge and classic First Nations and Afrikan storytelling and conscious reggae music. 'Revelations And Radical Radio' was hosted by Sista Zai Zanda and Dub Reggae Selector, Third Culture. This was a unique broadcast and fundraiser for 3CR in celebration of 40 years of Radical Radio.
