We have created this platform to provide the Cultural and Creative Sector with a tool that helps it become self-sustained and more resilient during turbulent times, through connecting with its audiences virtually while being able to generate income to feed-in its operational cycle.
Beyond turbulent times, this platform also helps the sector stay virtually global, where audiences from anywhere in the world will be able to watch any artist or participate in any creative activity without necessarily having to be physically in the same geographical location.
Strategically, this platform helps the sector better understand its new virtual global audience, and its rapidly changing dynamics, demographics and behaviour in a period that involves a constant adaptation of new practices and quick adjustments to strategic plans.
To get started, we would like to introduce you to a few important definitions:
“Creative User” shall refer to any individual or organisation, privately or publically owned that is responsible for the organisation and delivery of any event, activity, or any creative content of any kind (whether pre-recorded or live, or both), for free or for a fee, via BASITA.LIVE platforms.
A few examples of “Events” that you could organize on “BASITA.LIVE”:
How it works
Live:
Live events are happening in real-time. No third-party software is allowed to show pre-recorded content as live. The content creator can choose to make the content available for viewing after the live broadcast has ended, for a maximum period of four months – extendable. In this case the content will be automatically recorded.
Premiere:
Pre-recorded content that is played in real-time at the time of the premiere broadcast. The content creator can choose to make the content available for viewing after the live has ended, for a maximum period of four months – extendable.
All events are ticketed; however, we have included the option of organizing closed private events, and enabled event organizers to generate free “Invitation Codes” for their guests, at the minimum rate of USD 1.5 per view or per code, which only covers the streaming fee.

BASITA.LIVE uses “Fixer”; a global industry standard technology of currency converting, which provides real-time exchange rate data for 170 world currencies, updated every 60 seconds.

Charitable events and their subsequent agreements or giving from earned income are the sole responsibility of the Creative User. BASITA.LIVE does not collect donations directly or indirectly.
