Beyond Music - Talk
The Rise of Indigenous Pop Culture (Norge / Storbritannia)
- Melahuset
- Starts at 16.30
- Price: Gratis inngang!
A global wave of indigenous influence in popular culture is upon us – from Black Panther and How to Blow Up a Pipeline to the Norwegian Let the River Flow and numerous young Sámi artists on the rise. As the audience thirsts for meaningful, authentic stories, it’s time for the music industry to get on board. In this panel we will discuss how to reach bigger audiences and highlight uniqueness, without stereotyping or appropriating.
In collaboration with JM Norway.
