RadiOh Europa is a series of broadcasts of the love songs they have collected. In partnership with ANTI Festival and Homo Novus Festival for Festivals’ Path project they have created a special one off series of podcasts.
Listen to 10 hours of love songs recorded on their journey so far including love songs recorded in 2022 on their drive from Homo Novus Festival in Riga to ANTI Festival in Kuopio.
About artists
Action Hero is the collaboration between artists Gemma Paintin and James Stenhouse. Together they create artworks that expand across multiple creative practices: performance, installation, sound, digital practice and work for public space. Their ongoing interests lie in the iconography of popular culture and its use; both as a weapon and as a shared cultural memory and the languages/texts that are used to talk about these shared spaces. They have toured their work to over 40 countries across 5 continents.
