Introducing Radio Resistance

In this inaugural episode of Radio Resistance, the co-producers Wassan Al-Khudhairi, Michelle Dezember, and Misa Jeffereis will introduce the show’s origins and intentions, as well as contextualize the choice of radio within the medium’s history of giving resistance movements and communities a voice.

Radio Resistance is a limited series produced by the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis in conjunction with the exhibition Stories of Resistance. Artists featured in the exhibition are paired with figures from the past, present, and future of St. Louis, coming together to transmit messages of dissent.
