Radio Chthulucene 87.9 FM

This journal post is definitely late but I honestly didn’t feel like writing one at the beginning of this week since there were obviously more pressing issues to address and be a part of. I’m currently trying to have a moment to settle and reflect what this week has taught and shown me. I am proud to see so many of my peers participating in this very important moment of activism and standing up for what we believe in. 

Looking into this next week my first thought is about my mother. I unfortunately will not be seeing her on mothers day but I will celebrate with her soon. This holiday brings me thoughts about my project as I am usually surrounded by my mom, her sisters, and my abuelita during this time. I think a lot of my project will center around my mom and abuelita as I want to explore the differences in generations. I envision all of us sitting around some sort of diner table drinking coffee for hours. My heart warms with the thought of the chisme that is spilled over these table talks and the laughs we inevitably share. 

I feel like I have been bouncing around so many different ideas for my project that I might just end up drafting a few pieces and seeing which one feels best. I am really focusing on the audio element and I hope I will be able to post links on the discussion board of certain audio clips I am considering using for this project. I will be meeting my VIS partner soon and I am curious to see what sort of collaboration this will be. I hope my goal of having the radio in muir is still possible and if not then I was also thinking about somewhere near MOMs or the old student center. I think it would also be cool if we all partnered with KDST to have our radio shows broadcasted in one stream to have a moment where all of the projects could be heard at once. This entry was very rambly but that is the state of my brain at the moment.
