Radio Mangoboom [Kuumba]

★ A fold-out ‘chat tree’ on wheels that transforms public spaces into places for meeting, storytelling and dialogue ★

A brand-new radiotool on wheels
Three live radio sessions on 17 July, 23 July and 28 August
Intergenerational and across municipal boundaries

Five young people from Anderlecht take their seats in Park Poétik’s brand-new radio van for a lively live radio broadcast. They put it all together themselves. Together with artist Precy Numbi, they transform a red cargo bike into a futuristic radio van on wheels. Built entirely from recycled materials such as plastic baskets, they’ll be getting to work at the Flemish-African centre Kuumba. Together with radio host Erykah, they’ve devised the content for the radio episode and are also taking charge of the set-up and technical aspects.

With Radio Mangoboom, young and old come together to discuss topics from the past and present, whilst their voices are broadcast live in Brussels.
At 5 pm, followed by a DJ set by the Radio Mangoboom youngsters!
