Diversity and Decolonisation
25 April, 2023
Although in some ways the independent contemporary music scene is defined precisely by its disengagement from hierarchical ways of working that perpetuate abuses of power and racism, it is not free from structural exclusion. On the contrary, it lacks diverse perspectives and non-normative bodies, attitudes, narratives and aesthetics.
In the past few years, field notes has organised numerous conferences and further education courses on the topics of anti-racism and diversity development as well as the decolonisation of contemporary music. Many of the events were able to be documented on video or in writing and can be viewed here.
