Join the Radio Elsewheres collective for a two-hour event introducing our ongoing radio art project and offering a preview of its upcoming third edition. The next iteration, [re.03], will take place from October 16 to November 5, 2025, at Art Windsor-Essex, presented within Elsewhere, on Record — a solo exhibition by Velibor Božović curated by Emily McKibbon.
Since its inception in 2023, Radio Elsewheres has activated temporary transmission hubs in Bihać, Sarajevo, and now Windsor, gathering field recordings, radio essays, sonic compositions, and conversations that engage with memory, belonging, displacement, and resistance. Drawing from an open call and commissioned works from 18 countries, [re.03] will feature transmissions from borderlands visible and invisible — from river corridors to airport halls, from refugee routes to garden edges.
This event will include audio excerpts, curatorial reflections, and an open conversation with the collective, offering a glimpse into how radio can become a space of shared listening, imagination, and solidarity beyond the map.
Come listen, come ask, come tune in.

His work has been exhibited and performed in Canada, the United States of America, Europe, Chile and Senegal. He works in the field, on the air, in museological/gallery and performance contexts. These shifting territories reflect the content of his practice.
Dr. Claudia Zini is an art historian, curator, and educator. She is also the founder and CEO of Kuma International, a center dedicated to researching and promoting understanding of visual arts from post-conflict societies. Originally from Italy, she moved to Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, in 2015, exploring the intersections of art, memory, and healing in post-war contexts. She holds a PhD from the Courtauld Institute of Art in London and has extensive experience in curating, teaching, and writing on contemporary art. Through Kuma she has led exhibitions, publications, and eight editions of its international summer school.
Velibor Božović, originally from Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in Studio Arts at Concordia University where he now teaches. His work explores how images and sound shape memory and how they operate in the space where the historical, the fictional and the personal interrelate. His projects have been supported by the Canada Council for the Arts and by Conseil des arts et des lettres du Quebec (CALQ). In 2015 he was awarded the Claudine and Stephen Bronfman Fellowship in Contemporary Art. His work has been exhibited in Canada and internationally.
