Lovie (summer school radio) – broadcasting from The Lot Radio, summer school radio started as a pandemic project for Lovie. Now four years old, the show boasts a community of listeners that tune in weekly to hear her discoveries, for a sonic range that spans ambient, spoken word, spiritual jazz, soul, alternative R&B, and more.

In 2024, summer school radio expanded to in person deep listening sessions at Weeksville Heritage Center in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The performance space at Weeksville becomes an experiential room for sound, with Lovie’s curation joined alongside guests such as Alex Rita (Calm Roots), muva of Earth, and Laraaji.

A Space for Sound — ‘A Space for Sound’ is the moniker of Rena Anakwe, a Nigerian-Canadian-American interdisciplinary artist, performer, poet and healer that uses sound, visuals and scent in her work to explore where and how traditional healing practices, spirituality and performance can connect and fracture. Her deeper inquiry is how reconnecting to nature can help us to understand and mend these fractures; not only for ourselves but in relation to one another.
