Shame on You! Radio Program

The saying ”shame on you,” customary to many parents, is perhaps the spot where children’s innocent shyness begins to transform itself into adolescent and adult feelings of shame.

We were born naked. After eating the fruit of knowledge we got ourselves dressed – out of shame. Today it seems as if we are undressing again. Youth dress in stringy, revealing pieces of cloth; Internet chats allow feelings to flow; Television and film rewrite the naked body – but while exteriority is revealed, true secrets are still kept deeply held in by youngsters. Personal, private shame – when placed in front of society’s reaction causes suppression, squinting true emotion.

Sima Agia is a senior high-school student. She will graduate this year from the Radio Broadcasting Department at ”Local G” school in Jaffa. She hosts a regular show at ”The Voice of the Future” radio station, a cooperation between Sima’s high-school and the Israeli Broadcasting Network ”Kol Israel.”

Agia held conversations with dozens of students. She spoke with them about denying and concealing shame. At the exhibition you can hear a CD of these conversations – a collection which allows us the possibility to peek into younger souls, who already carry with them grown-up shames.

“The Voice of the Future” (106FM) is a radio station broadcast to residents of ”Gush Dan,” (Tel Aviv and its greater metropolitan area, and the center of Israel). It is operated by students of the Radio Broadcasting Department at ”Local G” school in Jaffa. The teachers responsible for operating the station ask to stress among their students values such as responsibility, group work, obligations and commitments, et al. Being a warm and personal type of media, radio can give a place for any subject the student wishes to bring up. It avoids taking rating or publicity matters into consideration. The station’s broadcasts allow freedom of original, young thought, and controversial creativity. They prefer allowing the students a chance to learn from experience, rather than emphasizing professional standards, which tend to sterilize students from all individual thinking
