What alternative concepts of the \u00bbwork\u00ab emerge? Where does the discourse stand today \u2013 where it has reached the scene but seemingly not yet fully permeated it, and where a political backlash is becoming noticeable?\r\n\r\nArtists, composers, and scholars from various contexts come together to engage with these questions in an open, musical space. The symposium addresses the reception of Afrodiasporic New Music in German-speaking countries, the colonial history of sound recordings, alternative concepts of time beyond Western linearity, and practical experiences of collaborative music-making.\r\n\r\nParticipants include Harald Kisiedu, Christian Gr\u00fcny, meL\u00ea yamomo, Ketan Bhatti, Simon\u00e9 Goldschmidt-Lechner (Solitude alumna 2024), Kaan Bulak, as well as current Solitude fellows Julio Cann Gonz\u00e1lez and Peter Okotor.\r\n\r\nThrough lectures, live-thinking conversations, panels, and musical contributions, possibilities for artistic transformation will be explored \u2014 as encounters on equal footing, in a spirit of mutual learning.\r\n\r\nThe symposium is held in German and English language and is translated live with the AI-tool Wordly in different languages.\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The symposium is supported by the Innovation Fund for the Arts of the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts of Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg.<\/p>\r\nPlease register here: <a href=\"https:\/\/eveeno.com\/109262097\">https:\/\/eveeno.com\/109262097<\/a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_program","_acfe_flexible_layout_title":null,"program_title":"","program_el":[{"bgcolor":"has-bg-blue","bgcolor_custom":"","program_el_content_collapsible":true,"program_el_content_collapsible_init_state":false,"program_el_content_headline":"PROGRAM: Wednesday, February 25, 2026","program_el_content":[{"program_el_content_left":"2.30 pm","program_el_content_right":"Welcome address by Anne Fleckstein (Director of Akademie Schloss Solitude) &amp;
