ISM Frequencies | A New Radio Show for Refuge Worldwide

It is our pleasure to announce the inaugural episode of ISM Frequencies, a radio show on sound, broadcast from Refuge Worldwide  in Berlin. Refuge was started as a fundraising platform working in solidarity with grassroots and non-profit organisations. This year they launched Refuge Worldwide, a new radio station to amplify the music and issues that they care about, broadcasting weekly Tuesday to Fridays.

Since 2015, among others, they have worked with a young women’s center, 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. 

The ISM supports the work Refuge Worldwide is doing for the local and international community and couldn’t be happier to have the opportunity to develop a radio show. Every 4 months we invite artists to create an audio piece focused on sound and the cultural impact it can have on us and the world around us.
