Digital audio recording. 16m 20s. Sadia Rahman. 2022.
In-between moments, meandering conversations and silence at moments of collective rest in Rajshahi, Bangladesh in the summer of 2022 as কে বা কাহারা moves through the city morning, afternoon, evening and after midnight in breaks between workshops and visits. With thanks to Nabil Shahidi, Rasel Chowdhury and Samiul Sabbir Islam.

Local 37 is a fictional underground radio station transmitting dialogue and strategies for the artist as worker. It inhabits the intersections of creation, transmission, and anti-colonial and working-class collectivisation. Local 37 is a manifesto for the artist, building ‘a world of mutual cooperation, mutual protection, mutual love.’ This 24 hour iteration of Local 37 continuously transmits art, labour, activism, social change, dialogue, union organising, and an everyday ambience from another reality.
