Radio Alhara x Art Explora - Urok Shirhan
Urok Shirhan (NL/Iraq), aka UROK, is an Athens-based artist, researcher and DJ working at the intersection of performance, visual arts and critical theory. UROK’s DJ sets unfold a polyglot club sound—where Arab, Latinx and Brazilian rhythms meet leftfield techno and deconstructed bass, blending sweet pop melodies with dark percussive drums. Throughout the Festival, during hours without live programming, the venue’s speakers will transmit the Radio Alhara broadcast.
Dates and times
Sunday, October 5, 17:00 to 19:00
Address
Port of Piraeus, Gate E8, Stage
Radio Alhara
Launched from Palestine during the first global lockdown in March 2020, Radio Alhara is an online radio station encompassing the idea of a public space that aims to blend the limits between producers and listeners. The radio is constantly reshaped by its community and its needs, as well as questioning the political relevance of sonic content in general. The radio focuses primarily on sounds and hosts music mixes, album releases, podcasts, cooking shows, talk shows, and radio plays.
