Tentative Transmits: The Radio as G/Host in the “former East” is a discursive radio platform that investigates memory, solidarity practices and cross-cultural phenomena in Central and Eastern European regions. The project attempts to reclaim lost sites, spaces and narratives by transposing notions around the "former East". The project explores archival findings on the Eastern bloc’s transnational and transcultural phenomena to reflect on post-socialist transitions as pluriversal sites of knowledge production.

The research topic revolves around how solidarity combines estrangement and engagement, suggesting interdependence without the loss of singularities and multiplicities. Through concepts such as off-modern, hauntology and post-memory we seek to put the relationship of archive and memory into question.
