Hannah Sawtell: Radio Raum (live on Mayday for MPR and Cashmere Radio, Berlin)

It’s Labor Day in the US so we wanted to highlight a recent live performance by Hannah Sawtell, originally broadcast on May 1st 2022, during a Montez Press Radio offsite project in Berlin. Montez Press was there for the Miss Read Book Fair and MPR collaborated with Cashmere Radio to co-program a live broadcast. In MAYDAY: RADIO RAUM, Sawtell revisits and re-contextualises a work she made 10 years ago called MAYDAY:THE BOOTH (Clocktower Radio, New York, 2012) for May Day 2022 in Berlin. 50 collaborators were asked to respond (through sound) to what the word Mayday means to them.

Collaborators as follows: ATM Kreutzberg, automat, Blak Tony, Black Hole Club, Cash for Gold, James Crossley, Marcia Carr, Dale Cornish, Darcus Howe Legacy, Keith Dodds, Food Not Bombs, J Hügel Geist, Harvinder, KEIZ, Lauren Flax, Esther Leslie, Mick Lynch, Ms Bioland, Marc Mac, McDaid, Lisa Mckenzie, Mel Mullings, Nathan Carter extrastereo, Eleni Poulou, Antonio Roberts, Oliver Romoff, Rap Saunders, Raumer, Jas Singh, Sylvie Lee, Robin Stewart, Giant Swan, Cathy Wade, Kühle Wampe, Tony F Wilson, Women Within RMT, Working Class Collective, Matthew Worley, Lady Brat Wurst and Walworth Choir. Each contribution was edited and mixed live by Hannah.

International Workers' Day, also known as Labour Day in most countries and often referred to as May Day, is a celebration of workers and the working classes that is promoted by the international labour movement and occurs every year in the UK and Europe on the 1st of May.

Hannah Sawtell is an artist working with sound, video, collectively built app development, installation, performance, radio, and sculpture. She lives and works in London, though her background is in the electronic music scene in London and Detroit; she co-ran the label Planet E. From her life as a DJ and organiser, she started to work as a performer and artist. Sawtell's multi-disciplinary practice is concerned with our globally connected society and aims to provoke debate around the technology of access, labour, capital and surplus, desire and excess. Her work exploits the processes and materials accessible in the current culture of connectivity.
