ESNS Talks: Diversity and Inclusivity on European Festival Stages

Panel / Talk - Free activity
THU - 18:00-19:00 - House of Connections
With Sziget (Hungary) festival booker Márk Bóna and Sexytadgh, we’ll discuss perspectives on how to cultivate diversity on festival stages and the differing needs of distinct regions in Europe. We’ll focus specifically on the impact of queer performance and the programming of diverse lineups in Hungary, Romania, and the metal scene, but will also present new insights related to gender and racial equity on European stages.

ESNS Talks is a place where the international music industry meets research in the heart of the Grote Markt. On Thursday, January 15, between 17:00-19:00, two free-to-access sessions will take place surrounding this topic in the House of Connections, Grote Markt 21.

ESNS Talks is a collaboration between the researchers and students of the Popular Music and Sonic Cultures Master’s programme of the University of Groningen and ESNS.
