The publication was produced to mark the end of artist Jennie Savage’s 3-year exploration into the STAR (Splott, Tremorfa, Adamsdown and Roath) area of Cardiff. STAR Radio was broadcast for one week in October 2005 and included programmes made by a combination of 17 commissioned artists and the general public.
The book was designed by Sweet Creative and includes essays by Jennie Savage, Claire Doherty, Dr Tom Hall and Dr Brett Lashua, Matthew Yeomans, Andre Stitt and Wiard Sterk and was edited by Emma Shepherd. The publication contextualises the project and the radio programmes, creating a collection of information that transcends its locality, projecting a new ‘virtual map’ of a non-specific location.
