Open to all UAL students and staff to join. Tuesdays 5.30pm–7.00 pm.
A radio programme using surrealistic techniques to embody Diversity Inclusivity Equity. Mixing conversations and live, interactive parlour games - plus bringing in university power players to talk shop and to be open for engagement. It’s a radio programme that takes an unpolished approach, creating an alternative space using recording and live involvement both in-person and online through collective games, call-ins and voice notes.
The 12-week programme seeks to explore the tensions that exist within the university: e.g. individual/collective; exclusivity/inclusivity; home student/international. Can the university ever function as a collective in its current format? Can a university that sells itself on exclusivity ever be totally inclusive? How can, say, the anarchical spirit of a Vivienne Westwood be embodied?

We aim to move existing infrastructures for dialogue beyond their current reach, magically transmitting through walls using sonic waves that carry poetry and open conversation. A number of special guests will feature over the coming weeks, dedicated to a particular element of D.I.E.
The unpredictability of the Surrealist techniques explored on the show is key to letting the radio programmes delve into areas that can often appear difficult for an institution. In the game of Exquisite Corpse, each individual submits a piece – but when unfolded, a collective picture story is revealed.
