Oh Europa is a labour of love; an act of collective listening that spans a continent and cuts straight to the heart.
Since 2018, artists Gemma Paintin and James Stenhouse have been travelling through Europe in their campervan, asking strangers to sing a love song. Throughout an entire day, Gemma & James invite you to join them in an epic deep-listening experience as they play every single love song they have recorded to date: over a thousand voices singing in 49 languages. Broadcasting live and online via their RadiOh Europa station, these love songs transmit a heartfelt message: an opportunity to hear our voices emerge out of the white noise.
Find the Oh Europa campervan-recording studio around Edinburgh on Tuesday 23 and Wednesday 24 August to add your love song to the collection. All voices are welcome!
