Dr Evi Karathanasopoulou

I am a Principal Academic in Audio Production at 成人直播 and work across theory and practice in the field of Audio Media. I studied classical music in Athens- Greece before moving to the UK to gain a 1st class (Hons) BA in Media Production: TV & Radio from the University of Sunderland and an MA in Radio from Goldsmiths College. I gained my Ph.D. at the University of Sunderland, researching radio as an intimate medium, while also teaching across UG and PG Media courses there. My latest theory output is an interdisciplinary article on the concept of atmosphere in radio and architecture. My latest practice output is Air Free, an audio installation artwork created as part of the Project Freiraum, an international collaboration with the Goethe-Institut and other stakeholders (). In March 2020 we published two co-authotred Research Films in a Charity Impact project lead by me. I am a fellow of the Higher Education Academy and welcome PhD proposals in the fields of Radio, Podcasting, Audio Media and Sound Art.

Outreach & engagement

External responsibilities

Public engagement & outreach activities

Goethe-Institut Thessaloniki, London and Glasgow, in collaboration with ArtBOX (Thessaloniki, GR) and AWAZ Cumbria (Carlisle, UK) have built a project that will target two aspects connected to our personal conception and expression, professional life and social / cultural identity, through the perspective of minorities and socially marginalised groups. In order to highlight these issues, artists Evi Karathanasopoulou (UK) and Thomas Koch (DE), as residents of the Artecitya by Goethe-Institut Thessaloniki programme, will forge a dialogue between different social groups and minorities from the two cities and will transmit their voices to the world. The panel discussion "Engaging with Minority Communities & Socially Marginalised Groups to create Freiraum in Thessaloniki" aims at: a) sharing good practices from our partner institution in Carlisle, AWAZ Cumbria; and b) introducing the mapping of the situation in Thessaloniki, in order for the project to respond to that and to the needs of the groups whose voices we intend to spotlight. This is a first step in the process, that will be followed-up by the two artists during their stay in Thessaloniki in the following months and will lead up to the final presentation of the project in Thessaloniki and Carlisle by the end of 2018 and in Berlin in Spring 2019.

As part of my leadership of the Graduate Production Project Unit - and in combination with my Global Engagement Lead role - I put forward two student graduate projects (which I also supervised) for the prestigious Prix Europa Awards in 2019. Both students, Anna Lozian and Matthew Cooper, were nominated and we joined a 5-day event in Potsdam - attended by around 1,000 high-profile international media professionals. The students presented their projects - a film and an interactive audio installation - to industry professionals and students, and attended professional presentations as judging panel members. I also had the opportunity to attend presentations and talks by international media practitioners and major broadcasters. You can see the nominated projects in our showcase page here: /study/courses/ba-hons-media-production/ba-hons-media-production-final-year-graduate-projects
