On the air since 1996, The ffiles is an intersectional feminist media collective grounded in community radio.

The ffiles is committed to validating and disseminating the voices and work of artists who face systemic barriers as a result of their race, sexuality, gender, lifestyle, class, ability. Through their programming, the collective seeks to create space for marginalized artists within the local scene, while mindfully trying to resist processes of tokenization and commodification in their efforts to participate in and contribute to anti-oppressive community networks.
ffiles produces work that explores our current technological landscape in the broadest sense. Their programming reflects an interest in themes that centre around, but are not limited to, transmission practices, sound healing, electronic music discourse, noise, techno-feminisms, the voice, and much more.

The collective hosts a weekly radio show on CKUT every Wednesday, as well as a monthly show on Montréal’s N10.AS. They program and present live audio-visual performances, artist talks, pirate radio installations and DJ sets.
