In English:

New Emergences is an initiative that serves as a platform to openly discuss issues regarding gender equality in electronic music and sound art. Within these fields, it focuses on the presence and absence of women alongside diversity issues in the broader spectrum of under-represented voices.

This lecture and discussion series provides a Safe Space for professionals – and for the public - to share their experiences, tell their stories and to discuss a wide range of perspectives, opinions and theories: male and female stereotypes are questioned and strategies to achieve Change are discussed.

The New Emergences team has set itself the goal to raise awareness in the field. The initiative supports under-represented voices in the world of electronic music and sound art and encourages those voices to develop a language of their own, and to present themselves with confidence within a field that in 2017 is still largely dominated by their white male colleagues.

The New Emergences series, website and blog are set up by a group of volunteers who help organize the events. Recorded documentation of the lectures and discussions is transcribed for archiving purposes, and summaries are published on the New Emergences blog, encouraging the discussion to continue online between events

For its 8th edition – which will take place at Intonal – New Emergences extends a warm invitation to musician and curator Julia Eckhardt from Brussel (Q-O2), to composer performer Susanne Kirchmayr from Vienna (female:pressure) and to performance artist Helena Engberg from Malmö (PotatoPotato). The other the self was the title of a number of events that were organized by Q-O2 in recent years and culminated in the publication of the book The Second Sound – conversations on gender and music (2017) which Julia Eckhardt will present on this occasion. For the discussion the panel is joined by New Emergences members and composer/performers Fani Konstantinidou and Semay Wu, as well as Remco Schuurbiers of CTM. 

Everyone present in the room is invited to comment or ask questions to the panel. The moderator has the role and the right to filter and move on within the discussion if and whenever necessary.
