Freedom Frequencies takes the reader on a journey to the global frontlines of the Palestine solidarity movement where art and activism intersect.

Rooted in a series of conversations broadcast from Palestine on Radio AlHara, this set of interviews offers a window into the contemporary culture of the global Palestine solidarity movement.

There is both a wide geographic and political scope to these conversations; there is a root in a shared focus on supporting the Palestinian struggle for liberation, but the exchange also touches on the energy of artists finding ways to be on the streets and in the studio at once.

This series is about bringing the vitality of the contemporary wave of online radio platforms, at the frontlines of experimental culture around the world, into print. As Radio AlHara is the platform, the collection positions Palestine as the moral compass while exploring intersecting points of struggle and cultural expression, both today and in the past.

Sit with these conversations to really get a reading of the multitude of cultural expressions that thrive at intersecting grassroots levels globally and engage with the contemporary edges of the intersections of art and activism today.
