80 years after the end of World War II, what remains?
Candice Savoyat retraces her family’s footsteps. First to Chemnitz, Germany, where her maternal grandmother was born to a Polish Jewish father, before fleeing to France. Then to Mauthausen, Austria, where her paternal great-grandfather, who had joined the Resistance, was deported.
By connecting these two family histories, she brings them into dialogue with the present, gathering the voices of strangers met along the way.
An intimate and universal journey, to be listened with headphones.

What are the gems that lie beneath the wounds? Ruha's family escaped violent riots in Colombo, Sri Lanka, in 1983, just three months before she was born. They were targeted because they were Tamil, the minority. Their successful survival could be seen as a string of coincidences, the result of deep human connections. Or was it the result of supernatural intervention?
This piece was created for The Golden Tape project by Kristina Loring, a mixtape of human essence where artists share their secretive and beloved pleasures, grief, ritual, and desires that they want to keep hidden from AI commodification.

To watch the world pass by from your home’s window is an intimate experience: at once deeply personal and yet universal, cinematic even, at times. Although we all do it, when was the last time someone asked you, sincerely; what do you see when you look outside your window?
Featuring experimental sound design that reflects the processes of art-making and city-wandering, we journey to Central London’s Brunswick Centre to meet Jill Rock, who sculpts natural found objects and geometric constructions under the light of her living room window.

In The Dark What’s New: Saltwater Soul

"Saltwater Soul" is an experimental audio documentary that’s really close to my heart. It dives into the world of sea swimming in Brighton, seen through the eyes of a passionate swimmer. The documentary mixes the peaceful sounds of the ocean with the lively atmosphere of protests against pollution by British water companies.
Creating this piece was a personal journey for me. I even started writing poetry for the first time, which you’ll hear throughout the documentary. It’s a mix of the calm and joy of sea swimming with the serious issue of environmental threats. My hope is that it not only shares the unique experience of sea swimming but also highlights the importance of protecting our waters.

How does it feel to come of age in some of the UK’s most disadvantaged neighbourhoods? What really drives inner city crime? What’s it like being sent to jail at a young age and released with nothing? We hear a lot about the issues of gangs, youth crime and county lines, but we hardly ever hear from the people with the best insight of all: young prison leavers themselves.
This is Mike's story - how he makes ends meet with fake money, goes inside and then learns to make coffee.
