PROGRAM ‘MUTEK Simposio: un futuro sin género’ MUTEK ES+AR…

The first hybrid edition of the MUTEK ES+AR Gender and Diversity Symposium, in collaboration with AMPLIFY Digital Arts Initiative, will take place on April 21 and 22.

Under the title 'MUTEK Symposium: a future without gender', the first hybrid edition of the MUTEK ES+AR Gender and Diversity Symposium will take place on April 21st and 22nd, in collaboration with Amplify Digital Arts Initiative.

During two days, more than 20 speakers (hybrid format from BCN +AR), and more than 300 projects, institutions and professionals at a global level will meet in the virtual platform Swapcard.

Given the emotional, economic, professional and creative expression situation that we have - and are - suffering from COVID-19, this edition focuses on how to generate "an opportunity to redesign the sector" by taking advantage of the collapse of the old structures and ineffective gender models on which the industry is based, highlighted by the global emergency situation.

The objective of the Symposium is to begin to draw a new industry model in which inequality and gender discrimination have no place, starting from a very simple premise: "that they no longer exist".

From Antiga Fàbrica Estrella Damm in Barcelona, panels, workshops and face-to-face content will be held, which will be in virtual connection with the online platform. The capacity is very limited.
