In dieser Ausgabe von Radio
Revolt hört ihr eine Sendung, die im Rahmen eines
gemeinsamen Workshops von Radio Helsinki und
der HALLE FÜR KUNST
Steiermark entstanden ist. Die Teilnehmer*innen
haben am 11. November 2025 die aktuellen
Ausstellungen Diego Bianchi: Errores
Irreales und Celina
Eceiza: Ofrenda besucht, eine Führung bekommen
und sich anschließend intensiv mit den Arbeiten
auseinandergesetzt.
Im Beitrag bekommt ihr zuerst Auszüge aus der Führung von Caro
aus der HALLE FÜR KUNST zu hören. Danach folgen Gespräche und
Diskussionen der Workshop-Gruppe über ihre Eindrücke: Wie Bianchi
mit Körperbildern und Fundobjekten arbeitet, welche Gefühle und
Fragen seine Installationen auslösen – und wie Eceizas weiche,
atmende Stoffarchitekturen Räume völlig neu erfahrbar machen.
Die Sendung zeigt, wie Kunst wirken kann, wenn man sich Zeit
nimmt, sie gemeinsam zu betrachten, darüber zu sprechen und die
eigenen Gedanken zu teilen.
Beide Ausstellungen sind noch bis 18. Januar
2026 in der HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark zu sehen.
Der Eintritt ist frei.

In this episode of Radio Revolt, host Fatih Kalkan delves into
one of the most intricate geopolitical regions in the
world, which is the East Mediterranean. Once the
energy sources first found in the early 1990s, the region
expected to become a potential hub for peace and cooperation
through shared energy resources, contrarily, the region has
instead become an arena for growing competition and mistrust
among neighbouring states
Diverging national interests, exclusionary energy projects such
as the EastMed pipeline, and the failure of liberal
internationalist approaches have turned energy from a
peace-building opportunity into a source of conflict. Countries
like Turkey, Greece, Israel, and Cyprus have become entangled in
a web of disputes over maritime borders, exclusive economic
zones, and security alliances.
To unpack these complex layers, Kalkan is joined by Prof. Zuhal
Mert Uzuner from Marmara University, an expert in Greek–Turkish
relations and East Mediterranean politics. Together, they explore
the geopolitical narratives driving the region — from the
centrality of the Cyprus question and the breakdown of
Turkish–Israeli cooperation to the growing strategic autonomy
debate surrounding Turkey’s Blue Homeland (Mavi Vatan) doctrine.
The conversation examines how geography, history, and national
identity shape regional rivalries: why the Black Sea remains
relatively stable while the Mediterranean faces perpetual
tension; how schoolbooks, media, and literature reinforce
national myths; and why every decade brings a new crisis without
resolving the old ones. Through these discussions, the programme
offers listeners a nuanced understanding of how
energy, identity, and strategic ambition
intersect to redefine power politics in the East Mediterranean.

Why does a leader who consistently loses elections remain at the
helm of the opposition? In this episode, we dive deep into the
political paradox of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who is the longest
serving opposition leader in Turkey between 2010 and 2023, and
what his enduring leadership reveals about the crisis of
opposition in competitive authoritarian regimes like Turkey.
Professor Behlül Özkan joins us to discuss his enlightening new
article “Competing Against Erdoğan, Collaborating with the
State,” where he argues that Kılıçdaroğlu’s success strategy to
the power in politics wasn’t built on mass support, but on
state-aligned strategy and bureaucratic inertia.
We explore how the opposition failed to challenge Erdoğan’s
dominance, why internal democracy matters, and what lessons
Turkey’s experience holds for other democracies facing
authoritarian backslide. Tune in for a candid conversation that
rethinks opposition politics from the inside out.

What does it mean to learn at the edges of society — in border
zones, language classrooms, or moments of protest?
In this episode of Radio Re:volt, we explore how adult
education emerges through creative, often unexpected spaces:
through poetry, through media, and through social movements.
We speak with researchers and educators who took part in
the 6th International Conference of the ESREA Migration,
Transnationalism and Racism Network to reflect on:
Poetic inquiry and refugee endurance in Greece
A dual-audience soap opera bridging Venezuelan
migrants and U.S. language learners
Social movement learning in Canadian anti-racism
activism
From poetic fieldnotes to performance-based pedagogy, this
episode asks:
What does adult education look like when it’s grounded in story,
struggle, and solidarity?
Featuring interviews with:
Nikos Psocios, Sergio Carvajal Leoni, and Shibao Guo

This Radio Re:volt show takes you on a journey through two
current exhibitions at Halle für Kunst Steiermark: A Song of
Ascents by Louise Giovanelli and Viscous City by
Evelyn Plaschg.
The broadcast was created as part of a collaborative radio
workshop, where participants explored the exhibitions, learned
about the works, and shared their thoughts in an open
conversation. The program includes a recorded guided tour through
both exhibitions, followed by a debate with nine workshop
participants. Together, they reflect on the art, what it evoked
for them, and how contemporary painting can connect to personal
memories, social spaces, and our digital lives.
Louise Giovanelli’s A Song of Ascents presents
striking, dreamlike paintings that seem to glow with light. Her
works often show quiet, mysterious scenes: a closed curtain, a
shining lock of hair, or a reflective cocktail glass through
which a figure appears. Many of her characters, often women, seem
to be on the verge of a new experience or realization. Her
imagery leaves space for interpretation, like a memory you can
almost recall or a dream that fades as you wake.
Evelyn Plaschg’s Viscous City takes a different but
equally powerful approach to painting. Her works move between the
abstract and the figurative, capturing the intimacy and tension
of our time. They explore themes of desire, relationships, and
the collective spaces — real and imagined — where people meet and
interact. Plaschg’s paintings also reflect how her generation has
learned to present, stage, and reshape their bodies and
identities, both online and offline.
Both exhibitions are open to the public at Halle für Kunst
Steiermark until 28 September 2025. This radio show invites you
to listen, reflect, and perhaps visit the exhibitions yourself to
create your own impressions.

We intend to create common spaces where everyone can express
themselves without being discriminated because of religion,
language, ethnicity, class, gender and/or sexual orientation. In
addition, we cooperate with other people, institutions and
organizations that also operate according to these principles. The
team in Graz consists of people with international history who come
together in order to support each other, join diverse events, host
workshops, gain and support empowerment throughout doing radio. We
aim to be an address for all people with international history who
may have been forced to leave their homeland due to war, ecological
destruction, religion, language, race, gender discrimination or
economic difficulties. We want to amplify their voices and address
common struggles.
