About
By looking into fields like touring, concert organisation, streaming and more, we ask ourselves how we can change our practices, both as individual musicians and as a broader music community and industry, to address the climate and environmental crisis. What do environmentally sustainable practices look like, and how can we strengthen local music communities while at the same time maintaining international exchange?

Format
Join us online or in person at Signals Festival 2021 for a moderated panel discussion and conversation with you - the music community - as we look for meaningful ways to achieve a supportive, productive but sustainable future for the music industry.

Collaboration

Signals Festival - Exploring art and technology, Signals Festival is an annual showcase of Catalyst Berlin’s emerging and diverse creative communities. A non-profit, educational event with live performances, installations, screenings, workshops and in-depth dialogue. For 2021’s festival Signals Festival explores if we are heading for a utopia or dystopia, and how art & technology can determine that direction. What does artistic expression look like in a sustainable community and what is our responsibility as artists to transform the wider social, political & industrial landscapes?
