Radio Alhara and Ballroom Blitz team up for 30-hour fundraising stream for Beirut

Beirut venue and crew The Ballroom Blitz are expanding their monthly Radio Alhara show into a 30-hour fundraiser for artists in Lebanon.

30 Hours For Beirut begins Friday, August 28th at 9 AM Beirut time and runs until 2 PM on Saturday. All money raised via the stream’s donation link will go towards Haven For Artists, a nonprofit organization in Lebanon that aims to support artists in the Middle East, hosting residencies, exhibitions, events and workshops.

The lineup includes a number of Middle Eastern artists (many of them from Lebanon) as well as bigger international names like Kode9, Scratcha DVA, Onra, Ikonika, TSVI, Wallwork and more. Check out the full lineup below.

The Ballroom Blitz is a venue located close to the site of the explosion at Beirut’s port on August 4th.

The stream will take place on Radio Alhara, which hosted a 72-hour marathon stream to protest Israeli annexation of the West bank in July.
