LUCIA SCAZZOCCHIO - FOUNDER

Lucia has had a rich and diverse career revolving around print journalism, sound and new media. It is an on-going obsession with radio spanning from her early teens that lead her to work with many broadcast formats from community, student and pirate radio to commercial and online stations. This experience led her to question the value and current formats of internet-radio and to begin experimenting with how radio production and broadcasting techniques can be adapted to our current times.

She is an award winning sound artist and audio producer and has been nurturing and curating divers stories and conversations that weave individual personal narratives as a way to help us better understand the wider social context. She calls this ‘Social Broadcasting’. Driven by creating engaging participatory radio and audio experiences that she 'audioscapes' into imaginative on and off-line broadcast initiatives and formats, Social Broadcasting represents the versatility of audio as an evolving social and artistic medium. She has worked with many of the major museums (Tate, V&A, Van Abbe Museum, London Transport Museum, British Museum, Tower of London) to create immersive community and oral history focused sound works as well as producing shortlisted audio documentaries and radio dramas.  

Most Social Broadcasts productions are collaborative, working with a team. We have also commissioned talented audio producers, sound designers, writers and researchers to work on specific projects: Oliver Sanders, Lina Prestwood, Sasha Edye Linder, Mae-Li Evans, Silvia Malnati, Hawa Khan, Leona Fensome, Samuel Robinson
