Panel moderation by journalist/musicologist Stephanie Alisch.

In this panel, we will be looking at the support structures that women/female-identified people access (or provide) within the music industry. Questions for the panel include: have they experienced such structures, what were they, where did they come from, and how have they benefitted from them? Did they seek out the structures? Or did they happen organically? Alternatively: what do they feel is lacking? We'll also be looking at strategies of self-care and survival techniques.

Where: Aquarium, Skalitzer Str. 6, 10999 Berlin

Free Entry

Time: 7:30 pm
