There’s nothing funny about losing a home in a wildfire, except for maybe discovering all of the random trinkets that survived.

Audio Flux is a home for short-form, innovative audio. They invite people far and wide to create short “fluxworks” in response to a theme and set of prompts. For each “circuit” they work with a creative partner who inspires these prompts.

For Circuit 07 they’ve linked arms with an organizational partner — the Capetown-based audio storytelling program, Radio Workshop, who helped connect them with the creative partner for Circuit 07, the Kenyan-based visual artist and sculptor, Cyrus Kabiru.

Through his artwork, Cyrus transforms trash and other discarded items into stunning objects – spectacles, radios, bicycles and more – that grapple with issues of consumerism, waste, and our ailing environment. Inspired by his perspective and the rich narratives that his sculptures suggest, we invite, welcome and encourage stories about climate change for Circuit 07.

FOR Circuit 07 each fluxwork must: 

• Respond to the theme “Trash or Treasure”

• Run exactly three minutes

• Tell a climate story that is meaningful to you

• Incorporate a discarded object you’ve found
  (or will find)

• Include at least one sound recorded in Cyrus’s
  studio (downloadable from this folder)
