About event
Hi Ladies
Our next Meetup will be supporting the Hurricane Melissa Relief by joining a fundraising event.
Sunday, November 9 from 14.30 Arkaoda Bar, Berlin.
I will be there for 3 hours but the event continues until midnight, so feel free to stay and explore some more.
This is a cause close to my heart as I am half Jamaican (on my dad's side).
I have chosen this particular event as it is about community coming together to reflect and one of our members Ishi Robinson, author of Sweetness in the Skin, will also attend in a fundraising capacity.
I hope as many of you as possible will join to support our brothers and sisters in Jamaica.
Full details of the event
On Sunday, November 9th, Berlin collectives including radio station Refuge Worldwide, creative studio Antilles NY, and Caribbean culture collective Nomansland come together for a fundraiser and moment of communal reflection, raising vital resources and awareness. The daytime (2PM-midnight), family-friendly event will raise funds for the Jamaican Government’s Official Disaster Relief & Recovery Portal, plus another Caribbean-wide relief effort TBA, via 100% of door donations, as well as profits from the food, merchandise sales, and a contribution from the bar.
We are inviting musicians, DJs, dancers, artists and community members from Berlin - all of whom have Caribbean background and a deep appreciation for Caribbean music and culture - to contribute with downtempo sets, live performances, dance workshops, crafts stalls and food.
The suggested donation on the door will be 10€ or more, but no one will be turned away for a lack of funds. If you wish to contribute to the event, please get in touch with [email protected]
