Sounds Now Symposium: Curating diversity in Europe (live stream)
Het symposium “Curating Diversity in Europe”, dat online (25 september 2020) en offline (mei 2021) plaatsvindt, richt zich tot een professioneel publiek en draait rond het thema diversiteit, een van de actielijnen van Kunstenpunt voor de komende jaren.
Het symposium biedt een platform om het discours over diversiteit in de hedendaagse muziek in Europa levendig te houden. De live stream kan gevolgd worden zonder registratie vooraf.
Decolonizing contemporary music
The focus of the symposium is on processes and profiles of curating that critically question power structures and Eurocentric patterns of thought, to implement political, collective or participatory strategies in the curatorial decision-making process. Keynotes by Du Yun and Sandeep Bhagwati will be followed by panel discussions on emancipation, decolonisation and “looted music”.
The symposium is planned in a hybrid format. All content (keynotes, panels, chats and networking) will be transmitted live to onsite participants at the Akademie der Künste, and simultaneously via internet to an online audience; content will continue to be accessible after the symposium as online video documentation. With this hybrid format, we want to strengthen the international networking and at the same time enable personal meetings.
The livestream can be followed passively without registration.
The symposium will be continued in May 2021 as part of the “Memories in Music” festival (May 6-9, 2021) at the Akademie der Künste.
