Woke Sells?

Dutch spoken
2020 was, wellicht dankzij de lockdown, een revolutionair jaar. Protesten als BLM en Black Out Tuesday zorgden voor bezinning en een kentering van gedachten, ook in de culturele sector. Social, Green en pinkwashing waren trending topic. Jongere generaties lijken politiek bewuster dan ooit en verwachten dit ook van de plekken waar ze komen en de bedrijven waar ze kopen. Maar hoe vertaal je die wokeness naar je programmering? Hoe maak je ruimte binnen je programmering om progressie te bereiken op het gebied van gelijkheid en acceptatie? Hoe draag je als poppodium of festival een steentje bij aan de acceptatie van minderheden, zonder daarbij een opzichtig politiek statement in te nemen of enkel te profiteren?

Before founding the agency, Irfan has been working actively in the music industry for 20 years. As managing partner in Topbillin', he represented hiphop, dance and queer artists like The Opposites, De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig, Joost van Bellen, Willem, Typhoon, Doppelgang, Anne-Fay, FS Green, Rico & Sticks, Willie Wartaal and others. In addition, he has been working as a music promoter for different venues and events, most recently Milkshake Festival Holland and Brazil.
