Naismuusikot rajojen ylittäjinä ja tulevaisuuden rakentajina
Our project is for the greatest part already ended, but some of our collaborators will still be visiting Finland in 2024. We are also editing a collection of articles on the themes of the Women – Music – Futures symposium that took place last March.
At the end of last year, two articles on topics we have been discussing during the project, especially the collaborations across cultural borders, were published in the issue 2/2023 of Musiikin suunta.
Friday, 10 November 2023, 3pm – 6 pm, Helsinki Collegium, Common Room, Fabianinkatu 24A, 3rd floor
This event brings researchers and artists into conversation about producing knowledge together. Through live music and discussions, panelists will demonstrate the different modes of collaboration and offer insights from their experiences. They will discuss openly about their new discoveries, and the exciting as well as challenging moments of their work. They will address questions such as: how team members define their individual roles and agree on ways of working together towards the shared goal of the project? How do the academic and artistic sides of the project complement or differ from each other, what is the balance between them and what issues of power there might be? What have we learned from each other? Can the collaborations within our projects be used as models for future projects combining art and research?
This event presents two projects that include researcher-musical artist collaboration as a core element of knowledge production:
Both of these projects have been funded by the Kone Foundation and are soon concluding. The event is organized in collaboration with Etnosoi! festival and the Helsinki Collegium.
The primary language of the seminar is English, but questions from the audience are welcome also in Finnish. The program includes also short musical performances.
The event is free, no advance registration needed! Welcome!
