The music industry
buzzword in 2018? Keychange! The representation of women
in the music industry is still very low in all European
countries, which is why this pioneering international
initiative has set greater gender balance and empowering
women as its goals, thereby working towards a different
future for the music industry. MENT Ljubljana joined the
campaign as the first festival in the region. Aware that
the representation of women in the music industry is
undoubtedly even more alarming in the Balkans than in
Western European countries, and that other regional
festivals have yet to join the initiative, we wish to
encourage additional discussion of the issue. That’s why
we’ll review the actual situation regarding the role and
position of women in the music and festival industry
with a representative of Keychange and participants from
various ex-Yugoslav countries, as well as go over
potential future developments and the possibilities for
change.
