The radio show aims to foreground the narrative of contemporary Joburg through the voices of some of its active agents in the arts and culture scene. It probes at ways in which they employ strategies to share their practices with others in the city and the world. These are individuals that the mainstream media has not engaged in a thoughtful way and have thus sought to employ self-engineered devices such as independent publishing and releases to tell their radical realities within the belly of an increasingly competitive city.
