Nordic Collaboration on Music Export

Sat May 6th 16:15-17:00 | Suecia

In this panel debate we shall investigate how Nordic music can stand stronger internationally if we collaborate across the Nordic borders on music export. We base our discussion on the newly developed project NORDEX, which deals with the export of experimental music by female Nordic artists, and aim to answer the following questions: Is it possible to create a network within the Nordic countries that deals with the export of music? What do we have in common and what sets us apart? How can we collaborate more?

Panel: Anna Ingler/Upfront Music, Pipaluk Lind/Nuuk Nordisk Kulturfestival, Inger Bråten/Killer Inc. & Laura Kaae/Volume. 

Moderator: Kat Jarby/Nordex.
