Az Irratia, the Azkuna Zentroa - Alhóndiga Bilbao radio station, is born The Azkuna Zentroa programme expands towards new formats to disseminate and maximise contemporary culture. With the launching of Az Irratia, the Azkuna Zentroa - Alhóndiga Bilbao radio station, the Centre commits itself to the spoken word as a means of conveying artistic thought and reflection. Included in the 2019-2023 Programme Project, the proposal continues the consonni radio with AZ prototype, undertaken by consonni under the Resident Collective Programme between 2018 and 2020. By way of an epilogue and major player, the cultural producer is working on the birth of this new project. Az Irratia is an experimental community radio different from the more traditional concept of radio and centred on the current podcasting format. It has been designed as a contemporary means of cultural experimentation, driving sound creation and reflection revolving around contemporary artistic practices. Its sections and topics not only dialogue with the Centre programme lines, but also with its autonomy as a creation project and a channel to recover environmental sounds and voices along with other cultural moments and artistic practices.
