Target Studio: Incubator Project

You are invited to the inaugural broadcast of Radio Rhizome: a radio station dedicated to immigrants’ rights, created by Nooshin Hakim Javadi and Pedram Baldari. The event will be centered around an open conversation between the audience and the collaborators, to learn more about their process while in residence at the Target Studio.

Developed in collaboration with the U of M Law School’s Center for New Americans, Javadi and Baldari will generate a broadcast program of interviews, storytelling, and sound performances. The event will be co-presented with Deepinder Mayell, the executive director of the James H. Binger Center for New Americans and director of the Center’s Education and Outreach Program of the Law School. Supported by Stardust.

WAM is pleased…
