SASUSU Radio

SASUSU Radio is a migrant meeting place that has since 2021 searched for connections between the Eelam-Tamil island landscape and the Tamil diaspora in Norway. In the reincarnation of Eelam-Tamil culture created by encounters with and between peoples, place relations and migratory revivals, older traditions are presented in new refuges, and new traditions in older haunts. The radio's expression is channeled through collaboration and family ties that take place over time and in various works. The projects are fleeting and limitless and are shaped in the presence, where human coexistence highlights our everyday life and we who are part of it. Between physical and common points of reference, the radio tries to take root in the contexts that exist and are rooted in society, past and future.

During this year's ARCTIC MOVING IMAGE & FILM FESTIVAL 2023, SASUSU Radio invites you to the exhibition The End of the World in a project-based collective consisting of Henrik Sørlid, Ellen Vikström, Mimii, Jette Graaner and Sanjey Sureshkumar. The group works with the temple as a meeting place, a place for healing and mythology. With the end of the world as a direct thread between the time we live in and the end of the earth, the artist group wants to create dialogue in Harstad. With a program consisting of cooking and tea-drinking, radio programmes, music and performance together with guests in and outside Harstad, SASUSU Radio welcomes you to life at the end of the world.

SASUSU Radio will also participate in an artist conversation at Galleri Nord-Norge with curator Kjetil Berge, and in a panel discussion around the festival's themes.
