By looking into fields like touring, concert organisation, streaming and more, we ask ourselves how we can change our practises, both as individual musicians and as a broader music community and industry, to address the climate and environmental crisis. What do environmentally sustainable practices look like, what are current examples that can lead the way, and where are strategies and action required? And how can we strengthen local music communities while at the same time maintaining international exchange?

Join us for an evening on environmentally sustainable practices, collaboratively organized with Catalyst, Institute for Creative Art and Technology, and Music Declares Emergency, a group of artists and other music professionals that form part of the wider movements to address the climate crisis, and us at Music Pool Berlin.

After the panel, you will have the opportunity to meet the Music Declares Emergency team and talk about climate action and sustainable practices. MDE will bring their interactive format “Pick a problem”. From a pool of music industry problems we help you find possible solutions and new approaches to transform the industry into a more sustainable one.

There will be music and drinks, and space to talk and meet inside, and in the yard.

We look forward to speaking with:

Tine Theurich (moderator) - Tine runs a small communication agency called SUPERUNKNOWN, which is involved in the Green Touring Network and the climate initiative Music Declares Emergency.

Die Musikindustrie hat die Chance, Vorbildbranche zu werden und mit inspirierenden Beispielen sowie klaren Signalen einen großen Teil zum Klimaschutz beizutragen. Aber wie kann das konkret aussehen? Gerade in der aktuellen Zeit, die durch die Corona-Pandemie jegliche Aktivitäten ausgebremst und auf den Kopf gestellt hat? Und wieso sollte man das überhaupt tun?
Dieser Frage werden wir uns in dem Workshop widmen - wir werden darüber sprechen, was aktuell getan werden kann, wie die Zukunft aussehen könnte, und warum es für alle Akteur*innen der Musikindustrie so wichtig ist, sich jetzt mit dem Thema zu beschäftigen. Denn auch abgesehen von der klaren Dringlichkeit und Wichtigkeit des Themas können sich durch die Implementierung der ökologischen Nachhaltigkeit in das Künstler*innenkonzept nicht nur positive Effekte für die Umwelt ergeben, sondern auch für die Künstler*innen selbst.
In dem Workshop werden praktische Handlungsempfehlungen gegeben, generelles Wissen zum Thema vermittelt und aktuelle Initiativen und Bewegungen vorgestellt, die das Thema vorantreiben.
Der Workshop zum Thema Green Artist Activities richtet sich an Künstler*innen, Bands, Akteur*innen der Musikindustrie sowie Netzwerke und generell jegliche interessierte Personen, die sich die Frage stellen, wie sie ihre Aktivitäten nachhaltiger gestalten und somit einen Beitrag zum Klimaschutz leisten können.
