About this Event
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 tips on 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 event is hosted by Etikett Radio Mentor Samaquias Lorta. Outside of Catalyst, Lorta is an interdisciplinary artist focused on ecological thought. Recent works include original compositions and performances with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin (2022, 2024), sound direction for permanent installations with Poer:a Collective at the Brücke-Museum and Kesselhaus Herzberg Museum, and an appearance as a featured artist at Manifest:IO. Lorta’s latest composition, Soil & Spirits, is releasing 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.
