Gender inequalities continue to shape the music industry to this day — especially for artists and cultural workers who are not cis-male. Despite increasing visibility, structural barriers, unequal opportunities, and a lack of long-term support remain part of everyday reality, particularly within electronic music culture.
This panel brings together members of female:pressure Portugal and Helvetiarockt to discuss the role of independent movements, networks, and non-profit collectives in building more equitable structures within the music industry. At the center of the conversation are questions of visibility, access, mentoring, community-building, and the importance of collective support beyond commercial industry logic.
How can communities create change where institutions often fail? What kinds of networks and tools are needed to sustainably empower marginalized voices? And what role do grassroots initiatives play in shaping a more inclusive future for electronic music culture?
