Finding Community: A Latinx Experience
Conference
Finding Community: A Latinx Experience
Speakers: Alada (Artist), Slim Soledad (Artist), TOCCORORO (Artist)
Moderator: Gabriela Loschi (The Boreal Agency)
Culture is deeply embedded in the electronic music scene. While we often find recognition in one another through the music we dance to, each region’s scene is shaped by its own customs and communalities, making the experience unique wherever you are in the world. Finding this connection in a new place can be challenging, and feeling empowered to claim space can be even more so.
In this conversation, UK-based Brazilian artist Slim Soledad and Brazilian-German-based Alada, both residents of BPOC and LGBTQIA+ focused collective Chernobyl, join the stage alongside Spanish-Cuban artist TOCCORORO to discuss their journeys in carving out space within the EU’s vibrant night culture as Latinx artists. Drawing from their personal experiences, they will explore the musical and cultural differences between the Latin American and European scenes, how they are shaping European nightlife and soundscapes, and what it means to find one’s identity as a Latinx artist in a globally-rooted industry.
This session is for anyone interested in learning about the Latin American diaspora’s influence on the European electronic music scene, how to foster connections, and how to find confidence in navigating the global scene as part of a diaspora. The discussion will highlight the power of music to bring people together, sharing the intentionality behind their artistry.
