Core Values
- Accessibility: One of the core values of Radio Atheer is accessibility, which manifests in various aspects of its operations. This value encompasses the accessibility of both cultural producers and audiences. Radio Atheer ensures accessibility by offering its digital platform and content free of charge, open for anyone to access. Moreover, the platform distributes its content across multiple media platforms to reach a wider audience. In its sub-granting activities, Radio Atheer prioritizes supporting new, underrepresented, and emerging artists and cultural producers. Furthermore, it provides an open-access infrastructure, both physically and through mobile means, to facilitate the production process for creators. This commitment to accessibility is reflected in Radio Atheer's grant allocation, hiring practices, and any related criteria.
- Creativity and Experimentation: Atheer supports sonic and aural production. It is open to new and experimental productions, encourages creativity in its productions and does not abide its choices to the traditional merit-based criteria.
- Collaboration: Atheer is not working in a void. Atheer is a collaborative project seeking connections, collaborations, and cooperative links with cultural institutions, producers, artists, and workers, with the goal of being a mid-layer between cultural institutions and audiences for effective distribution. Atheer strives to attune to the cultural ecosystem needs and where radiophonic productions can help, lending hand technical and artistic support.
- Credibility & Reliability: Atheer promises its community and collaborators reliability and credibility in the quality of its content and in the mutual work, relationships, and services to the community, whether these are technical, managerial, artistic, or logistic.
