SPLIT, DIVIDE

Categories permeate our thinking - also in contemporary music. Genres are divided up, this side and that side of the canon asserted, boundaries between the independent scene and the institution demarcated. The current time of pause challenges us to new looks and debates: What if we really thought and listened diversely? What if we shared more again instead of dividing?

Three panels will discuss corresponding spaces for action of a solidary, musical contemporaneity: from questions of post-migrant scenes to new music, possible partnerships between institutions and the free scene to political settings that protect and expand artistic freedoms.
