La nuit Fukushima, Radio Mobile, Sao Paulo Biennale, 19 octobre 2012

Le projet « Et pendant ce temps là à Fukushima » a été invité par Mobile Radio (http://mobile-radio.net/), qui propose ses programmes artistiques en direct de la biennale de Sao Paulo.

Je vais préparer une nuit entière qui sera diffusée le 19 octobre, de 21h à 10h (heure locale)
Les japonais vivants au Brésil représentent la plus forte communauté en dehors des frontières du Japon, ce qui donne encore plus de sens à cette émission.

The project « Meanwhile in Fukushima » is invited by Radio Mobile (http://mobile-radio.net/), which offers live and artistic programs from the Sao Paulo Biennial.
I’ll prepare a whole night radio stream which will be aired on October 19.
Japanese living in Brazil represent the largest community outside the borders of Japan, which gives even more meaning to this issue.
