Keychange enters a new phase of the project and on this occasion, we gather Keychange representatives, people who have been part of the program and key cultural leaders, at MUNCH.
Saturday during Oslo World, you are all invited to the top floor at the Munch Museum, where Keychange 3.0 will be presented. The program signals a major international push to increase gender diversity on the music scene. There will be a small concert with NEDJA, inspirational talks, a presentation of the Keychange project's new phase and a panel discussion where experienced cultural leaders discuss what has been achieved so far - and how we can take further steps.
Since its inception, Keychange has been a movement that represents the underrepresented, with the aim of increasing diversity in the music industry. With “Keychange Leaders” we are entering a new phase of the project and on this occasion, we gather Keychange representatives, people who have been part of the program before and key cultural leaders to discuss where we are right now: What progress has been made, both on and behind the scenes in today's cultural life? What is lacking, and what is the best way forward?
In the panel discussion, moderated by the Estonian cultural entrepreneur and curator Helen Sildna, we meet the entrepreneur Lisa Ann Cooper, director of the Munch Museum Tone Hansen and CEO of Little Big Sister Silje Larsen Borgan. All are trailblazers with unique insights into today's cultural life. After the talk, we also invite you to hang out for snacks and further conversations.
The event is free of charge, but there's limited capacity. Sign up here!
