Another session in the “Raise Your Voice” programme is titled „Pop Goes Politics“. Fetsum, who came to Germany as a refugee, will also be speaking at this event. He launched the PxP (Peace by Peace) Festival, a benefit festival in support of children in war zones and fleeing war. Joining him in this discussion about protest and political engagement in the pop world will be Heinz Ratz, who along with Konstantin Wecker founded the Büro für Offensivkultur (Office for Proactive Culture), and Carolin Albrecht, who organised the Global Citizen Festival, which took place on the eve of the recent G20 summit in Hamburg and featured performances by a number of music stars, including Herbert Grönemeyer. And at the “Music in the Middle East” discussion, artists Shahin Najafi from Iran, who has a fatwa death sentence issued against him, and Yasmine Hamdan from Lebanon will talk about the influence of art in a region dominated by crises and war. Joining them on stage will be Martin Goldschmidt, founder of Cooking Vinyl, one of Europe’s leading indie labels. In 2016, Goldschmidt founded PMX, the Palestine Music Expo, to raise awareness of the territory’s cultural heritage and to support local musicians. All festival and conference events can be found on the Timetable on our website and in our app (iOS and Android). |
