Radio Tomada wants to shake things up. Radio Tomada wants to defend your right of free expression. Radio Tomada wants you to speak to your community. Radio Tomada wants your community to reflect on itself. Radio Tomada wants to create a safe space. Radio Tomada wonders if our idea of our free speech is an illusion.

Radio Tomada is a mobile radio broadcast platform, housed in the Axle Contemporary mobile artspace and traveling around Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico from June 27 through August 17, 2025.

Anyone can sign up to broadcast through Axle’s online portal or just show up and broadcast. Broadcasters can talk alone, converse with others, play live music, or play their pre-recorded content. Microphones will be available in the mobile broadcast studio as well as turntables, tape decks, and ports to plug in phones or other media players.

All broadcasts will play just outside the mobile studio and also broadcast to a range of approximately two miles via a FM transmitter in an otherwise locally unused lower range.
