Hybrid Practice Lab (Workshops)

Hybrid Practice Lab - October 2026 - Berlin

The workshop program responds to the need for professionalization and support of FLINTA* , migrant, and emerging artists, who often face structural barriers in accessing knowledge, networks, and resources within the music field. It creates a space for skill-sharing, artistic development, and exchange, complementing the concert series by strengthening the long- term sustainability of the participating communities. The program combines artistic and professional topics, including contemporary performance practices, music production, financial literacy, and career development.
