Lumsden Live forms the first international Assembly for the BEPART project, an international network across Europe. Bringing together communities in Aberdeenshire with the wider BEPART network, the radio schedule sets out to explore how collective community action has and continues to make change happen at local, institutional and international levels.
Voices and contributions from our neighbours, to distant friends and collaborators, describe and consider why and how people are joining together to take action with their communities. The shows include discussions between activists and artists, meditations with the local landscape, artworks, interviews, Lumsden residents’ ‘take-overs’ and live discussion and debate with community groups and organisers.
We invite you to tune in and listen from wherever you are and to get involved with our call-ins, discussions, responses running throughout the week. We would love to hear from you and give you a ‘shout out’ or play your favourite song.
On Saturday 22 May, come to SSW – 1 Main Street for a free coffee, cake from Caroldson’s Café and socially distanced listen!
From Thursday 13 May, the full radio schedule will be available at www.lumsden.live, or you can pick up a print out from the front of SSW.

BEPART protocol
Running in parallel to the Lumsden Live programme the BEPART Critical Network, Marwa Arsanios, Lotte van den Berg, Roland Gunst and Fanny Robles, will be working with BEPART stakeholders to develop a first iteration of a ‘Protocol’ driven by their exploration of the ethics of participation. The Critical Network will present the first manifestation of the protocol on the Lumsden Live station at the end of the week.
About the BEPART Assembly
The BEPART Assemblies are shared moments of collective questioning across the BEPART project (short for BEyond PARTicipation). Each year the Assembly is hosted by a different partner in the network, focusing on a different theme relating to participation in the arts. This Assembly has a focus on Power.
BE PART is made possible with the support of the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union. The European Commission support for this programme does not constitute an endorsement of the contents which reflects the views of the contributors, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein.
