Over four days, the event will gather artists, journalists, researchers, activists, educators, and other cultural sector professionals to discuss topics such as “Cultural Rights: Class, Territory, and Intersectionality,” “Culture and Ethics: Cultural Rights in the Digital Space,” “The Ethical Maze of Capital in the Music Industry,” “Festivals, Brands, and Curatorship: Partnership or Dependence?” and “Time is Political: Collective Practices of Continuity.”
