For this special broadcast, Stefan shared a mixtape that includes sounds from a recent cultural event at La Sala Rossa to support the Sudan Solidarity Collective, as well as material from the Make Fuzz Not War compilation released to support Doctors Without Borders work in Palestine and the Middle East Children’s Alliance.

Khalid also highlighted the Maktaba project, co-founded by artists Sundus Abdul Hadi and Yassin Alsalman. Meaning both “library” and “bookshop” in Arabic, Maktaba is an artist-run, deeply-rooted space invested in representation and culture.

CKUT Production Crew volunteers Harrison, Emily, and Firuza were welcomed into the space to set up the live broadcast from 2:00-4:00pm. Listen to the archived episode down below.
