While the need for self-representation is at the heart of the Victorian ‘treaty process’, our First Nations shows also provide a critical historical perspective. As programmer Spike Chiappalone says, ‘The strength and vitality of community radio is that it provides an authentic, unfiltered voice of those who experience marginalisation, alienation, social exclusion and social stigma’. Self-representation is also at the heart of our Roominations show, produced and presented by people with a lived experience of homelessness. As you’ll read on page 5, a recent training project aimed to equip young Muslim women ‘with the skills to self-represent, thereby directly combatting the misrepresentation and invisibilisation they face’. Within these pages you will find a slice of life at 3CR, people who volunteer their time offering you, our listeners, an opportunity to be inspired, challenged and engaged.Īt 3CR, we know that representation-self.representation-matters. ‘Radio for Change’ aims to capture this resistance and places 3CR in a central starring role-without 3CR, where do we hear progressive alternatives, where do we hear our communities speak for themselves, articulating their own struggles and solutions? 'At the heart of everything, it is the people' Many of those voices and people can be found here at 3CR. But within this spreading conservatism there are always people who are prepared to speak back, to organise, and to rise to the challenges of our times.
Decisions that embolden the most regressive and conservative thinkers are creating a political and cultural climate with dire effects for many in our communities. The current political climate in Australia and globally is one of rising racist and pro-capitalist policies. Hundreds of people built our humble station, and hundreds continue to give it life and purpose. And that’s true both for the activities we undertake at the station, as well as our ability to enact any kind of social change.įrom the station’s test broadcast in 1975 to the present day, 3CR has been at the forefront of Melbourne progressive politics, providing the infrastructure of studios, microphones and training to volunteer programmers.
There’s an old Maori proverb that ends with: ‘At the heart of everything, it is the people’.
‘Radio for Change’ is the theme for Radiothon this year and it encapsulates so much of what we set out to do every day.
