Export Music Slovenia

Panel Discussion

WITH: Andraž Kajzer (MENT), Bodgan Benigar (Cankarjev dom), Robertina Šebjanič (intermedia artist), Peter Baroš (SIGIC)

The current circumstances of the international music space are an opportunity to rethink the strategies for the international music export. The Music Slovenia consortium finds itself facing an interesting challenge: to follow the established path as seen by foreign agencies for music export or to invent something different and more effective?

To Work or Not to Work?

FRIDAY, 25 September, at 6pm , SIGIC
Panel Discussion

WITH: Janez Leban (Sajeta), Nina Hudej (Grounded), Neja Tomšič (SONICA), Bogdan Benigar (Cankarjev dom)

How is it (im)possible to organise events in times of a pandemic? How to keep the continuity and the programme’s core, how to maintain and evolve the original vision? How to work on the crossroads of local and international, of the periphery and urban centers, how to step into the international virtual space and what that even means in today's circumstances? How to uphold the connections and build new ones. Where are the pitfalls and where the new opportunities, new models, new physical and virtual spaces, means and visitors? How to not whine and surrender into despair but rather keep pushing the scene forward?

MEET & GREET:

26 September, at 11 am , Kavarna Moderna
Informal meeting with the artists and producers
