In this episode, RE-PEAT collective approaches water justice through imagining the perspective of water nself, by drawing stories and definitions of bodies of water, and n’s entanglement in relation with other bodies, bogs, bugs, sundew, moss, reeds, drops, rivers, will-o’-the-wisp and us.

Through collectivity, music and sounds, we follow a feminist subjectivity, watered, inspired by Astrida Neimanis’s call to “chart our politics of location in a way that recognises our diverse aqueous implications and responsibilities”.

With contributions from Moss Pit, the River Besòs in Barcelona and the Salween River in Thailand by Helen Ganya Brown.

RE-PEAT is a youth-led collective with a mission to change the narrative around peatlands across the UK and Europe - what we term a “peatland paradigm shift”. We strongly believe that peatlands are ecosystems for our times – representing both a vast existential risk and a huge potential for positive transformation, the course of which we follow depending on the actions of those alive today. We also see that these ecosystems can offer insights into a wide array of eco-societal features, including deep time, what we collectively choose to remember/forget, and how we can think beyond binaries.

A six-part series by Meira Asher and Stephen Shiell exploring the interactions between transmission, sound, activism and water. Each episode is created by a different artist or group who engage with water politics and the politics of listening through the medium of radio.

An immersive psychosonic space, where sounds converse, collide and converge, featuring works, selections, edits, experiments, new music, non-music, archival objects, abstract artefacts, sound(system) and A/V art, pop, trash, noise, voice, and the associated mediums, processes and techniques that make up the ongoing audial investigations of Agents of the Culture Industry & OVT, all presented for art not profit.

In this episode:

"i am reading from 'The Secret Revelation of John' by Karen L. King. was given this book and plunged in..to the two available translations printed across from eachother from da Berlin Codex, differing slightly. i m reading both I.II. versions out loud, left one first, then the right one, sentence by sentence, till page 49.

have a look at the writing below if you want to know about the context of The Secret Revelation Of John, but i believe it comes across anyway. i loved it. picking up on the many 'intriguing-but-confusing ideas' and the overt criticism of patriarchy ofc. as for aeons the meaning of it invites to enquire about temporalities and timespans, linking this back to the suspension the world is experiencing now.. . for me, really its a question about whether there is any light and if so whether the varying interpretations provide any solace."

Lost in antiquity, rediscovered in 1896, and only recently accessible for study, The Secret Revelation of John offers a firsthand look into the diversity of Christianity before the establishment of canon and creed. Karen L. King offers an illuminating reading of this ancient text--a narrative of the creation of the universe and humanity and a guide to justice and salvation, said to be Christ's revelation to his disciple John.

Freeing the Revelation from the category of "Gnosticism" to which such accounts were relegated, King shows how the Biblical text could be read by early Christians in radical and revisionary ways. By placing the Revelation in its social and intellectual milieu, she revises our understanding of early Christianity and, more generally, religious thought in the ancient Mediterranean world.

Her work helps the modern reader through many intriguing--but confusing--ideas in the text: for example, that the creator god of Genesis, a self-described jealous and exclusive god, is not the true Deity but a kind of fallen angel; or, in an overt critique of patriarchy unique in ancient literature, the declaration that the subordination of woman to man was an ignorant act in direct violation of the "holy height."

In King's analysis, the Revelation becomes not strange but a comprehensible religious vision--and a window on the religious culture of the Roman Empire. A translation of the complete Secret Revelation of John is included.

It has been celebrated by The Wire magazine for its ‘disregard for the music industry, self-promotion and prevailing cultural norms,’ and an ‘ability to elevate distinct works and the obscure artists behind them.’ purge.xxx only releases music physically, unless a digital alternative has specifically been requested by a collaborating artist. It considers even the recording a compromise, but advocates things.
