The Outro Message to “Artists-In-Presidents: Transmissions to Power” is a soundscape bringing together messages from across the 21 episodes, and new reflections from contributors on their participation in the project. In this immersive composition, voices from throughout “Artists-In-Presidents” speak to the challenges of performing power, the local contexts and conditions underpinning their messages, and the urgency to reimagine leadership.
Over the past four months, twenty-one transmissions and portraits from artists, activists, public intellectuals, and writers have radically reimagined political power and possibility. This international assembly of contributors were invited to position themselves as world leaders who speak directly to the people, describing their vision for the future and how we get there. Together, they compose a rousing collection of imaginative proposals for the leadership we need in this moment of crisis and possibility.
Produced and composed by Olivia Bradley-Skill.
