Our Streaming From Isolation series is now raising donations directly for Black Lives Matter-affiliated causes– with funds this week going to NAACP Legal Defense plus awareness for a number of South Africa-based organisations.
This next run of home-broadcasts kicks off with Pussy Party, who bring a "Johoneysburg" thing for their takeover stream.
As part of the series, our long standing partner Ballantine's has committed a fund in the form of 20 grants to be distributed to community-driven collectives around the world. These grants will be given to each collective to distribute as they feel best to support under threat artists and those most in need within their immediate community. This support is critical over the coming months whilst COVID-19 restrictions are in place and impacting many artists’ ability to do what they love and to make a living.
Weekly takeover days of Boiler Room’s channels will feature performances and sets programmed by these collectives from isolation. Broadcast to the world from artists’ homes and private spaces, these transmissions are a way to stay connected while apart.
