Conjuring FM: Feminist Migrant Frequencies

This radio walk occupies an open frequency on the FM spectrum to create a collective listening experience that weaves together the voices, memories, and experiences of a migrant feminist collective in Montreal. Through sound, the project explores migration as a process of resilience, adaptation, and the search for new ways of coexisting within urban space.

Throughout the walk, participants will tune into an FM transmission featuring personal stories, reflections, and sonic conjurations from members of Colectiva Tribu and activist Tania Gómez. Their voices form the narrative thread of the experience, guiding the audience through stories of migration, care, resistance, and belonging.

The walk takes place within Les Champs des Possibles, a wild ecosystem that persists in the heart of Mile End and serves as a living symbol of ecological resilience within the city. This territory is not merely a setting, but an active interlocutor: its vegetation, sounds, and history enter into dialogue with the participants’ narratives. Throughout the journey, echoes of their voices and conjurations will resonate across the landscape, creating a relationship between migrant memory and territorial resistance.

Broadcast through FM waves, this walk proposes an intimate, collective, and political form of listening that connects migrant experiences with urban ecosystems that are also struggling to endure.

The walk will take place in Spanish, English, and French.

Conjuro FM: Frecuencias Feministas Migrantes

Esta caminata radial interviene en una frecuencia libre del espectro FM para crear una experiencia de escucha colectiva que entrelaza las voces, memorias y experiencias de una colectividad feminista migrante en la ciudad de Montreal. A través del sonido, el proyecto explora la migración como un proceso de resiliencia, adaptación y búsqueda de nuevas formas de coexistencia en el espacio urbano.

Durante el recorrido, las personas participantes sintonizarán una transmisión FM en la que se escucharán los relatos personales, reflexiones y conjuros sonoros de les integrantes de Colectiva Tribu y de la activista Tania Gómez. Sus voces construirán el eje narrativo de la caminata, guiando al público a través de experiencias de migración, cuidado, resistencia y pertenencia.

La caminata se desarrolla en Les Champs des Possibles, un ecosistema silvestre que persiste en medio de Mile End y funciona como un símbolo vivo de resiliencia ecológica en la ciudad. Este territorio no actúa únicamente como escenario, sino también como interlocutor activo: su vegetación, sus sonidos y su historia dialogan con las narrativas de las participantes. A lo largo del recorrido, los ecos de sus voces y conjuros resonarán en el paisaje, creando una relación entre la memoria migrante y la resistencia territorial.

Transmitida a través de ondas FM, esta caminata propone una escucha íntima, colectiva y política que conecta las experiencias de migración con los ecosistemas urbanos que también luchan por persistir.
