In this recording, you can listen to the concert of Adina Camhy
In her live concert, Camhy weaves together works and improvisations from the last three years, during which she has been struggling with Post-Covid syndrome: field recordings from the rugged karst landscape, improvisations recorded on a wooden church organ in an Alpine mountain village, and poem-like fragments dealing with chronic illness and hope. Camhy’s music involves electronic sounds, field recordings, vocals and effects, creating subtle, alienating and eerily fragmented soundscapes that range from noise and ambient to drone and industrial. For the concert organised as part of PRISON RADIO, she includes fragments from Prishtina Prison: sounds and songs of solidarity.
PRISON RADIO Festival
PRISON RADIO is an international, transdisciplinary sound and radio art project that rethinks both prison and radio as social, political and artistic structures. Broadcast and recorded in Prishtina from 10 to 13 September 2026, the festival featured a 72-hour radio programme, comprising approximately 30 hours of live broadcasts and 42 hours of pre-produced content. Taking the Former Prishtina Prison as a resonant site, the festival approaches the prison not only as a historical institution of confinement, but also as a metaphor for wider invisible architectures of limitation: social roles, gender norms, borders, political pressure, economic constraint, trauma, language, surveillance and silence. Through radio art, soundwalks, live broadcasts, performances, concerts, lectures, workshops, a community run, collective listening sessions and the exhibition Sound, Resisting, which extended across four prison blocks, the watchtower and the courtyards, PRISON RADIO transformed a former site of punishment into a temporary space of voice, resistance and public reflection. The festival draws on critical prison studies, the politics of listening, sound studies, the concept of the prison without walls and the carceral continuum. It understands radio as a dissident and participatory medium through which voices, art and sounds travel beyond walls, borders and dominant narratives.
