Open Wave-Receivers – DIY radio-making with Shortwave Collective

25th April 2026

Join Shortwave Collective member Alyssa Moxley to learn about and build a simple homemade radio receiver, an ‘Open Wave-Receiver’ at Open School East in Margate

3pm - 6pm

Participants will be engaged as co-researchers and experimenters, working with a basic set of materials.

Following the construction of the DIY Open Wave-Receivers, participants will explore the local area together, searching for signals and attaching their radios to metal structures as makeshift antennas, incorporating urban fixtures into the radio circuit.

This workshop is open to all ages and levels of experience for people with an interest in sound and electronics.

Shortwave Collective is an international feminist group using the electromagnetic spectrum as artistic material. Shortwave Collective deliver workshops nationally and internationally, constructing open and untunable radio receivers that connect the listener to a fusion of natural radio emissions and human-generated transmissions.

This event is part of Open School East's 2026 Associates Programme, Towards the Edges. Click here to find more events
