Proyecto de emprendimiento mujeres y músicas

Abstract

The present work is framed within the cultural sector, more specifically in the sphere of participation and appropriation of musical arts and practices by women in Colombia. In the history of music there has been a close relationship between masculinity and the performance of certain roles in the field of music and sound, such as composition, direction, sound engineering and the playing of some instruments that by the contexts of music have assumed a feminine or masculine assignment. These historical and symbolic gender relations, which have been perpetuated through music education, traditions and power relations, became obstacles to the exercise of women in the field of music, generating a lack of opportunities and low participation of women in the creation and formation of groups. Women have always been present in music, but they have been invisible and deprived of opportunities and spaces, many advances have been achieved and many obstacles and social prejudices have been overcome, but it is still necessary to continue working for the attainment of spaces and opportunities. Faced with this panorama, the proposal is to create a corporation that promotes the work and creative potential of women in music through the dissemination of musical projects and the creation of spaces for circulation for these projects.
