Abstract
This is an ongoing research based on the practice of radio making, school making and the politics of knowledge. Anchored in my artistic practice and media theory, it investigates "schooling" as a fluid, communal act enacted through sonic experiences and embodied presence. The text situates radio not as a tool of radiance but as a medium of resonance – one that enables transversal communication, resistance, and affective encounters. Through historical and contemporary case studies such as the Voice of Fighting Algeria and Radio Alhara, I analyze radio’s role in anticolonial and communal practices. I describe my own and collective engagement with the LungA Radio School, an experimental situation and space on-air, which proposes a methodology grounded in listening, improvisation, and resonance. By interweaving open water swimming with radio-making, the work proposes sonic and somatic modes of presence as means to reimagine pedagogical and technological infrastructures – before all the water disappears.
