On Air – On Site is a project designed with the primary aim of fostering the growth of an experimental community radio based in The Hague. Sound artist and radio maker Margherita Brillada conceived this initiative recognising the sociological dimension of radio as a public space for artistic involvement and community connection. In 2023, she initiated the festival as a practice-based project aligned with her artistic research in community radio and web radio. Leonie Roessler works with field recordings and art radio. Her work has been increasingly focused on both collaborative composition processes and the theme of marginalisation. She joined Margherita in curating the first edition of the festival and the two are now preparing the 2024 edition which will be held from May 24 at 20.00 p.m. until May 26 at 20.00 p.m., online, on the FM, and on site at the Institute of Sonology and WEST Den Haag.
