Discover Antwerp through creativity

Spotlight on diversity in music

 

17-19 November 2020, 21:00-22:00
Inspiring talks, performances by Belgian city Antwerp's bands and a glimpse behind the scenes of iconic locations
In 2014, This is Antwerp, a campaign by Visit Antwerp, launched the annual D.A.T.E (Discover Antwerp Through Experience) meeting. Every year creative talents from Antwerp are brought together with international guests. This year, there will be no physical meeting but there will be inspiring talks, live performances and reports which offer a glimpse behind the scenes of iconic locations.

On Tuesday 17, Wednesday 18 and Thursday 19 November, from 9 pm to 10 pm, you can experience it all via www.thisisantwerp.be. Viewers from both home and abroad will be immersed in free content regarding the comings and goings of Antwerp's music scene. The programme is accessible both live and later on the This is Antwerp YouTube channel. 

With a special focus in diversity in music, the large European city wants to use their influence to discuss solutions to the unbalance internationally. The mics are given to the founder of Belgium's slam poetry Elisabeth Severino Fernandes, multi-disciplinary artist and LGBT activist Jaouad Alloul, master student with an upcoming thesis on the challenges of female musicians in the western world, Eline Cote, and artist manager, consultant and public speaker Dennis de Groot.
