Midtown Stories
You can catch Midtown Radio’s latest contribution of Midtown Stories in The Community Edition. In Darryn Doull’s latest work, SOS: A Story of Survival, Part II – The Body, “we consider the impacts of environmental destruction, conflict and food and housing insecurity on our living bodies. Viewers are asked to consider: How will we survive as our shared environment collapses around us?”
In the centre of the gallery, sits the already locally renowned 2021 installation, Stories from Land Back Camp by Amy Smoke, Bangishimo Johnston and Erik O’Neill. In 2020, Midtown Radio had a chance to chat with Amy Smoke about Land Back Camp and you can listen to that conversation here.
Also in this month’s Community Edition you will find the Best of Waterloo: The Shortlist. We are honoured to be one of the nominees in the category for Best Podcast! Regular Midtown Radio listeners will also notice many familiar names on that list, from musicians, to artists, to podcasters, and more. Click to see the Short List and vote today!
