The Cana­di­an New Music Net­work and Le Vivi­er invite you to a Con­ver­sa­tion on Sus­tain­able Futures for music and sound artists and orga­ni­za­tions, art work­ers and audi­ences. The meet­ing aims to reflect col­lec­tive­ly on the issues that lie ahead and, par­tic­u­lar­ly among fun­ders, to present some issues and resources such as the Cre­ative Green Tools.

Le Vivi­er adopt­ed a green pol­i­cy in 2020 and obtained the Eco-Respon­si­ble Scene Accred­i­ta­tion for all of its actions in terms of sus­tain­able devel­op­ment. This think tank has been orga­nized to con­tin­ue in this direc­tion and on the invi­ta­tion of the CNMN to join their consultation.

On this occa­sion, we will wel­come a rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the Con­seil des arts et des let­tres du Québec as well as the Con­seil des événe­ments écore­spon­s­ables for a short pre­sen­ta­tion, fol­lowed by a ques­tion period.

Sustainable Futures — Vancouver Meeting May 23, 2023

2023 05 04 - News

CNMN invites you to a con­ver­sa­tion envi­sion­ing Sus­tain­able Futures for music and sound artists and organizations,arts work­ers and audiences.

Cana­di­an Music Cen­tre BC, 837 Davie St, Van­cou­ver, BC V6Z 1B7
12:00am ‑2:00pm May 23, 2023 — snacks will be provided

Join us in a facil­i­tat­ed dis­cus­sion of ques­tions including:

  • How can music and sound orga­ni­za­tions sup­port artis­tic works and ini­tia­tives that both pro­mote greater aware­ness of cli­mate issues and engage in the author­ing of a health­i­er world?
  • How is lan­guage and pol­i­cy shift­ing to address the impact of cli­mate on music and sound prac­tice and presentation?
  • What tools and sup­port can arts orga­ni­za­tions like CNMN offer to sup­port the con­tin­ued rel­e­vance and via­bil­i­ty of our sector?What is rea­son­able or radical?
  • How can we as indi­vid­u­als and as a com­mu­ni­ty process and move through the  chal­leng­ing emo­tions that  trans­for­ma­tion and sus­tain­abil­i­ty may evoke: from (eco)grief, com­pla­cen­cy, com­plic­i­ty, to over­whelm and isolation. 
  • How do we ground our orga­ni­za­tions and our­selves in prac­ti­cal opti­mism, tak­ing tan­gi­ble steps towards a more sus­tain­able world?

Par­tic­i­pants will include pre­sen­ters, fund­ing orga­ni­za­tions, artists and researchers from and for a broad range of cre­ative music and sound prac­tices and audiences.
