Datscha Radio in Kobe, Japan

Until 20 November, Datscha Radio is collecting your contributions for its first broadcast in Japan on 22 November 2025.
The radio station is currently based in the Haioku Group’s residential complex in Kobe, an association of artists and architects who are manually restoring the often uninhabited, dilapidated houses on the mountainside and making them usable for living and cultural purposes. Since 2017, gallery spaces, several artist residencies, a library and bicycle rental, living spaces with a communal kitchen, studios for working and small, landscaped open spaces for leisure and exchange have been created here under the collective’s name ‘BISON’.

Waste Culture #1

The production of waste is a sure indicator of civilisation, and many stories are contained in this. The very ambiguity of the word ‘waste’ encourages reflection: on production, consumption, surplus and leftovers, on what can and must be thrown away, but also on what ultimately needs to be shared, recycled and redistributed.
On 22 November, the BISON collective will open its doors to the public and Datscha Radio will also go on air. The exact time and programme will be posted shortly.
