Colonial continuities and the sometimes frustrating state of music industries based on neoliberal conditions and competitive settings bring forth harmful practices that should not be further replicated. These workshops are thus intended to build capacity and collective empowerment in professional music practices; civic engagement; critical understanding of power asymmetries, structural biases as well as translocal exchange, rather than coaching for individual success in the market.

All Gather Share Evolve 2021 events take place online and free of charge, but workshops are limited capacity and require pre-registration. Priority for workshops is given to artists/practicioners in the Southeast Asian region.
