con_textos @Ainara LeGardon. Cultural self-management
Cultural self-management workshop
In her workshops Ainara LeGardon condenses the experience of a musical career that straddles more than a score of years, trying to transmit her knowledge about the tools and options available to artists for project self-management: legal and technical procedures, notions of Intellectual Property, management of rights, promotion and dissemination, advice as to how to promote and make the best use of creativity and motivation, etc.
Most important, though, is that attendees, by pooling their doubts and reflections, can rethink their objectives and the means to achieve them. This is how the workshops become a collective exercise of questioning and reflection concerning the concept of work itself, our ethics and aesthetic. What is our position as creators, artists and citizens? What is the meaning of the commitment and responsibility acquired when we create something and we make it available to others? And what are the reasons for doing that one particular way and not another?
Think music. Think art. Create dialogue, debate and reflection, and obtain the information required to be able to keep control over our decisions, whatever they are, being aware of their consequences.
