Welcome to the International Perspectives series, where Keychange will look to spotlight diverse voices across the globe, featuring individuals, artists, collectives and initiatives to explore how the music world sits within their contexts.

In collaboration with Sacem (Keychange partner), the series will take a deeper dive into perspectives, insights, and expertise, emphasising gender equity, highlighting intersectional voices alongside unique challenges faced by music artists and professionals. 

Across the 10 instalments, we will take a topic from the Keychange Manifesto to better understand how we can apply our learnings whilst mindful of the wide ranging cultural and political contexts of the international music community. 

 

  • In our first instalment of the series, we look at Sudan with Ronnie Vitalia, a Sudanese Black feminist, Queer rights activist, and Afropolitan writer. Passionate about advancing African LGBTQIA+ and women’s rights, Ronnie combines a love for the arts with advocacy for social justice.

  • In the second instalment of the series, we are in conversation with the iconic French drag artist, La Grande Dame. In this video interview, La Grande Dame takes us her journey and experience of the French and UK drag communities, challenges along the way in these cultural contexts, and of course, tells us a bit more about the importance of music on the scene.
