this is the first episode we recorded after blowing up! in it we unpack how that went from our side and lay out some of our thoughts around the space we are co-creating together with u all :) we also get into what it feels like to create for ourselves now that some people are watching and reflect on humor, why we laugh at heavy things, where that comes from and the transformative power we see in it. anddd we also read some of ur comments. the cute AND the unhinged ones ^^fran's note: we had technical issues with the audio on this episode! we hope u enjoy it regardless :3- hosted bydira https://www.instagram.com/dirandrakalafran https://www.instagram.com/ilzilu- editfroilán urzagasti https://www.instagram.com/jaguai95/- equipment & productionimaginary box https://www.instagram.com/imgnrybx📻 about woke-ish talk- hiii we're Dira & Fran 🫰🏽 we both have a distant past as media producers back when we were younger: Dira as MTV host and radio announcer in Indonesia, and Fran as a youth cultural journalist in Nicaragua. life took us in many directions before crossing paths in Berlin (divine timing✨, as we say) and we've now decided to go back to cultural production, now in our own terms, with this radio show in which talk about hot and silly stuff, with heart and in style* - follow along!📺 about imaginary box- as of now, imaginary box is a production platform that facilitates the exchange of information, media-making resources, equipment and technical skills among trans and/or racialised cultural producers, supporting our efforts to build creative and economic autonomy so that we can reclaim self-determined representation in media and history#berlin⁠ ⁠#queer⁠ ⁠#trans⁠ ⁠#politics⁠ ⁠#media
