Radio Alhara is a radio based in Bethlehem and Ramallah, in Palestine, and Amman, in Jordan. Launched during the COVID-19 pandemic, Alhara encompasses the idea of a public space. The radio hosts musical sets, conversations, recordings, and discussions, and its main aim is to blur the lines between producers and listeners.

Mark Trecka is a Chicago-born writer, sound artist, singer, and activist. His writing has appeared in the Los Angeles Review of Books, New Inquiry, Vice, and elsewhere. He has collaborated with Susan Alcorn, Midwife, A-Y/dancers, Audra Wolowiec, Drekka, and others, and has created broadcast projects for Palestine's Radio Alhara and Radio Coyote. He is the cofounder and lead organizer of the Beacon Prison Books Project, a volunteer-run solidarity program that provides free books to incarcerated people throughout New York State, where Trecka currently resides.
