A fundraising event for May Day, supporting 3ezwa & MOTHER.
On May 1st this year we are hosting a solidarity event, featuring both discussions from our studio and some music out on the street, curated by Meriem S and Adam Cooke. We'll have DJs, outdoor music, drink deals, coffee and baked goods, while raising money for two fantastic causes.
Coffees are provided by Laurel (all profits will go to the fundraising), special mimosas, cocktails and spritz deals at the bar, plus baked goods on offer (until stocks last).
In the morning, there is a series of talks from the Refuge Worldwide studio with Reclaim the Narratives and Ahmed Eid, Tropical Diaspora Records and Sudan Uprising, before moving outside the studio for a dance. Music selections come from NYC duo MUSCLECARS (Coloring Lessons), DJSOULSEEK (Mother Loading) and other artist who will remain top secret (hint: 101Ø).
Proceeds from the event are to be donated to the 3ezwa Palestine Legal Fund, a Berlin-based fund dedicated to supporting people who are facing state and/or police oppression for expressing solidarity or engaging in activism for the rights of Palestinians, as well as MOTHER Emergency Relief for Sudan – organised by DJ Soulseek, a Sudanese artist raising funds with her collective for Sudan. These efforts are aimed to have a direct impact in supporting efforts on the ground there.
Come by, support these great causes and listen to some great music.
