International meeting "Critiques of Power in the Arts"
From 25 to 27 April 2024, an international meeting on Criticism of Power in the Arts will be held at the mdw - University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna. The meeting's agenda will cover various topics such as social and gender disparities within the music industry, epistemic violence, hierarchical structures in music education and performance, political and cultural management power dynamics, critiques of decolonization, global imbalances, and identity crises. Special attention will be given to the needs of young researchers and the support of researchers, artists and practitioners of music and performing arts from marginalized communities. The event formats are not only the standard academic conference formats, but also include co-creation, discussions, artistic research and experimentation with 'unproductive' time or challenging hierarchies.   More information can be found here.
