Car where the interviews led by the Curatorial Delegation took place.
Latitudes was interviewed for
Radio For Example by curator and writer
Juan A. Gaitán, member of the
Curatorial Delegation together with Rabat’s L’
Appartement 22founder
Abdellah Karroum, organisers of "
Radio For Example, part 2: R22-Dubai" one of the projects of this year's
Art Dubai (see more on the fair in this
previous post).
Radio For Example consists on
a temporary nomadic recording studio in a car that will be circulating throughout Dubai, taking people between different art spaces, public transportation stations and homes, while conducting a series of dialogues and interviews with artists, curators and practitioners aimed at exploring the ways in which individuals engage with notions of the collectiveand operate within institutional frameworks.

Privileging the active role of the listener in the construction of knowledge, Radio 22 documents a series of discussions carried out in different places (Morocco, Medellín and now in Dubai) through live engagement with these specific social, geographic and political environments.
