This event will include a live performance of a version of Look! She has her eyes wide open by Shona Macnaughton. Lost in Transmission is a series of events presenting non-English language radio works with subtitled translations in cinema spaces around Scotland. Here, subtitles allow audiences to experience the wealth of radio art available from all over the globe in its original language in the comfortable space of a cinema – in much the same way as you might go to see a foreign language film – only here there are no pictures, just soundscapes, storytelling and your imagination. Each event in the series is accompanied by a live performance from an artist whose work is speech or language-based. For this edition, Radiophrenia are excited to bring to Filmhouse a performance by Shona Macnaughton. Shona Macnaughton is a performance artist, she makes live events based on artefacts from alternative political life from the past, as a monstered version of her artist self. On this occasion, she will be performing a version of Look! She has her eyes wide open – based on a documentary film about a French feminist organisation and their efforts to collectivise both birth and abortion, titled after a rough translation of the French Regarde, elle a les yeux grand ouverts (1980) Shona has performed and exhibited nationally and internationally in galleries, museums, theatres, gig venues, clubs, dives, virtually and on the street. Recent projects include The Participatory Clinic (2025, Glasgow Women’s Library), Creative Discharge (2024, AVU Festival, Prague) and Here To Deliver (2020, performed internationally over the phone, commissioned by Edinburgh University’s Contemporary Art Collection). <a href="https://radiophrenia.scot/">Radiophrenia</a> is a radio art collective, festival and art radio station broadcasting intermittently across Glasgow on 87.9FM and online. The station aims to promote radio as an art form, encouraging challenging and radical new approaches to the medium. For this series of events, Radiophrenia has partnered with Radio Atlas (London, UK) and the Lucia Festival (Florence, Italy) – two organisations who specialise in translating and captioning radio in different languages – to curate programmes selected from their archives. Radiophrenia is supported by Creative Scotland. Photo credit: Katherine CoxPT2HN/C 182026-04-04
