Berlin club arkaoda is hosting a fundraiser this Sunday, February 19th, for the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Turkey and Syria.
So far around 40,000 people have died after two earthquakes devastated south-eastern Turkey and parts of northern Syria. All profits from the fundraiser will be split between three organisations: Ahbap, The White Helmets and Heyva Sor.
Running from 2 PM through 1 AM, the event will host DJ sets from numerous artists with Turkish or Syrian heritage, including Konduku, Mehmet Aslan, Melis, Slimgirl Fat, Taradud, Zilch Flow and Zuhour. More names are still TBA.
In addition to the music, there will be arts and crafts for sale. The whole event will be livestreamed via Palestine’s Radio Alhara, Root Radio in Istanbul and Berlin community platform Refuge Worldwide
Resident Advisor will double the final amount raised at arkaoda. Tickets will be available on the door, though people can also donate directly by purchasing donation-only tickets via the RA event listing below.
