Network Conference - Experiences with Gender and Diversity in New Music

The GRINM Network Conference 2019 will bring together
a variety of initiatives focusing on diversity and gender issues
in contemporary music in Europe. In the course of our activism,
we have seen both how such initiatives are crucial to the continued
existence of the field, and how large-scale projects in
schools, universities, music venues, and festivals are already
underway. Despite this wealth of knowledge and experience,
there has until now been little examination of the goals or results
of these projects, something we now intend to change. The focus
of our conference will thus be on bringing together people
already working in this field to share their outcomes, experiences,
and insights. Through keynotes, music, presentations, and most
of all through discussion, our goal is to contribute to establishing
a discourse around these issues across the contemporary music
community.
