Etikett Welcomes Refuge Worldwide

Wednesday 11 November, 18:30 @ Catalyst Social Stage

Etikett gives a warm welcome to our mentors and soon-to-be neighbors Refuge Worldwide. This will be a workshop/presentation on one of Berlin's most influential grassroots radio communities, hosted by one of the founders Richard Akingbehin. Learn a brief history of the station, community happenings, how to get involved and learn about the power of radio. 📡

At Etikett, and in turn Catalyst, we’re open to all formats beyond music, such as acting, film critiques, interviews, sound art, field recordings and more. This event is open to all creatives looking to harness the power of broadcasting and streaming.

The evening is hosted by Etikett Radio Mentor Samaquias Lorta. Recent works include original works with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin (2022, 2024), sound direction for permanent works with Poer:a at the Brücke-Museum & Kesselhaus Herzberg Museum, an appearance as a featured artist at Manifest:IO. Lorta’s latest composition, Soil & Spirits, is released on the label re:natura.

/// About Refuge Worldwide

Refuge was started as a fundraising platform working in solidarity with grassroots and non-profit organisations. In January 2021 we launched Refuge Worldwide, a new radio station to amplify the music and issues that we care about, broadcasting 24/7 from Weserstraße 166, (12045 Berlin Neukölln).

Since 2015, among others, we have worked with a young women’s centre, refugee housing support associations, a music school for marginalised persons, social equity groups, homelessness agencies, and a shelter for women and young persons fleeing domestic violence.

From our home in Berlin we now host weekly workshops, training programmes and classes in media, creative fields and mental health. These are free to attend as part of our community outreach. Refuge Worldwide is also involved in a number of collaborative projects around the globe with like minded collectives, radio stations and activists.
