Musica Femina
Musica Femina is a two-year cooperation project of international partners who share visions of gender equality in the cultural and artistic sector. By 2020, a variety of activities will have been implemented in different local environments:
- highlighting the creativity of women composers
- facilitating new creations and transnational mobility of music artists
- proposing discursive programs on music and musicology
- implementing structural changes in regard to equality in the music industry.
