In collaboration with Sacem (Keychange partner), the series will take a deeper dive into perspectives, insights, and expertise, emphasising gender equity, highlighting intersectional voices alongside unique challenges faced by music artists and professionals. 

Across the 10 instalments, we will take a topic from the Keychange Manifesto to better understand how we can apply our learnings whilst mindful of the wide ranging cultural and political contexts of the international music community. 

 

  • Visibility and awareness in the music industry and society at large is not only about embracing gender diversity. We must acknowledge its various manifestations, including understanding the impact of the political, cultural and social on music, culture and artistic expression beyond our own borders. 

    In our first instalment of the series, we look at Sudan with Ronnie Vitalia, a Sudanese Black feminist, Queer rights activist, and Afropolitan writer. Passionate about advancing African LGBTQIA+ and women’s rights, Ronnie combines a love for the arts with advocacy for social justice.
