free103point9 Radio Labs provide students with technical skills and contextual background to consider and utilize the transmission spectrum for creative expression. Workshops address four main topics: the history of broadcasting; how transmitters work; online transmission tools; and transmission arts as a creative medium. On September 27th, join Tianna Kennedy (free103point9); and Maka Kotto (Prometheus Radio Project), and Kaya Weisman (Germantown Community Farm) for a transmitter building workshop, discussion, and screening of "Un Poquito de Tanta Verdad" (Corrugated Films.) A 90-minute documentary, "A Little Bit of So Much Truth" captures the unprecedented media phenomenon that emerged when tens of thousands of school teachers, housewives, indigenous communities, health workers, farmers, and students took 14 radio stations and one TV station into their own hands, using them to organize, mobilize, and ultimately defend their grassroots struggle for social, cultural, and economic justice.
