AL.Berlin, founded in 2019, is a vibrant Berlin-based hub for contemporary music and art dedicated to building community through live music experiences. Focused on connecting people to the South West Asia and North Africa (SWANA) region and the Global Majority, AL.Berlin, represented by the name AL (آل), meaning "the" and "family" in Arabic, creates inclusive spaces that challenge traditional ideas of assimilation and integration. Its flagship event, AL.FESTIVAL (funded by MusicBoard Berlin and Initiative Musik) has grown into Berlin’s premier SWANA music festival, attracting diverse audiences and expanding its reach with film screenings, workshops and political knowledge seminars.
