Natural History (Radio Free Grenada) | Activity

Natural History is the working title for an extended period of visual and auditory research into the Grenada Revolution (1979–1983), in which photographic archives, personal correspondence, and audio recordings are presented and remixed both live and digitally.

Radio Free Grenada was the national radio station of Revolutionary Grenada and a key source of both music and news for the island. This presentation is a hybrid lecture and listening session that focuses on the political power of radio, using rhythm and anecdote to trace connections between progressive political movements across the Black Atlantic.

The written history of the Grenada Revolution exists largely within academic repositories, but this session aims to create an open-ended retelling of established narratives around the Revo’, and offer both a template and a lesson to those engaged in similar struggles today.
