The latest radio broadcast by Edward Ruchalski of the Department of Visual and Performing Arts was selected to be included in The Brooklyn Bridge Park special, an audio program curated by Radio Hopes and Dreams and Wave Farm by invitation of The Norwegian Consulate General in New York. The broadcast is titled Water/Metal (from Ruchalski’s radio show Bells, Bugs, Whispers & Plinks, co-hosted with Stephen Bradley, University of Maryland, Baltimore County). The audio program will be presented on Lehmkuhl, a 107-year-old sailboat docked in Brooklyn Bridge Park between Dec. 18, 2021 and Jan. 4, 2022; one of its many stops on the One Ocean Expedition. The One Ocean Expedition is part of the United Nations’ Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. Traveling 55,000 nautical miles to 36 ports worldwide, the ship will continuously collect data on ocean physics, chemistry, and biology throughout its journey and serve as a floating university for crews of scientists and students.
While in New York, Lehmkuhl will be chartered by The Norwegian Institute of Marine Research, who will meet with local scientists and the public.
The Brooklyn Bridge Park special program will be a continuous audio program on the vessel as well as an online radio stream available at wavefarm.org/listen.
