ASA: 2019/2020 Programme

About the project

Building on the success of the pilot edition launched in 2018, we supported another 50 core participants in Rio de Janeiro through our seven-month ASA development programme. We also presented a series of satellite events in Recife in the northeast of Brazil, reaching a further 250 women working in music/sound.

The programme also attended and took part in events at the SIM São Paulo music conference, where ASA was nominated for an award in recognition of its work to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment within the music and audio industries.
