Panic! What Happened to Social Mobility in the Arts? DIY DEBATE
Event description
DIY
A conference about the possibilities of doing it for yourself organised by young people living in London. DIY is the strategy young creative pioneers have adopted – famously – for generations. Northern Soul, Punk, Grime, Dubstep, Acid House, Indie, Mods, SKA, New Wave – the list of DIY youth movements originating in the UK is impressive. Do young people still have the same opportunities to bring their talents to mass audiences? Do rapid changes in technology make it easier to make and share new work? Can you make it without the backing of an expensive education, a wealthy family or a TV talent show?
Speakers will include Femi Adeyemi, founder of NTS Radio & Boiler Room; Alex Boateng from A&R at Island Records; grime musician Ebenezer Ayerh and singer Zillah Minx.
More speakers TBC.
