9pm – 6am 

Radio Insomnia is an ephemeral online and on-air radio station that explores the political and poetic aspects of wakefulness and insomnia. Radio Insomnia will unfold live on July 7th and 8th with performances by Montreal-based artists, sound works, experimental music discussions with special guests, as well as sonic contributions from international artists and musicians. 

Live program and commissions by artists:

Audio Placebo Plaza (Julia E. Dyck + Erin Gee + Vivian Lee), Stéphanie Castonguay, Chantal Dumas, Amanda Gutíerrez avec Brujas & le Collectif Tribu, Nicolas Montgermont, Benny Nemer, Cynthia Noury, Martín Rodríguez …

The full program is to be announced on https://insomnia.radio.fm/

Engaging night-time communities as a proposition to fellow insomniacs and night-time listeners, a particular focus of the broadcast are the social implications of wakefulness at night, chrono-normativity, solitude and isolation, intimacy, the poetic experience of dilated time and the reappropriation of nocturnal time in public space.

The exhibition:

In the exhibition InSomnolence, Radio Insomnia features sounds of sleeplessness. Memories of night work, insomniac drones, erotic nights, diluted compositions, accounts of nightmares… More than forty works from a call for contributions can be heard in the exhibition around a round table that will be transformed into a radio studio on the nights of 7 and 8 July for live broadcasting.
