RADIOARTis a digital stage for Swedish and international radio drama, sound theater and audio art.

RADIOART is run by a group of artists with diverse professional experience in theater, music, art and literature. Some of us work with large established theatres, others with independent groups, in music and art, both in Sweden and internationally. The reason why we are involved in this project is that radio is still a completely open, democratic, free, dynamic, intense and endlessly experimental means of expression. Its effects are direct, and it emerges out of the very lack of the physical. Without images, actors’ movements, space and colour, it is the listener's own body that comes into focus – this is where it takes form!
Radioart is supported by Swedish Arts Council, Stockholm Cultural Department, Helge Ax:son Johnson Foundation, Längmanska Culture Fund – but we also need your support …
