MIL TALKS | Politics and Contemporary Pop Music

This session will explore the role of politics in the music industry, and consider how this relationship operates in different regions of the world. At a time where public subsidies for the cultural and creative sectors are decreasing, we need to think about new, alternative ways to distribute the available resources. Is there a better way of rethinking city planning and reassessing social and cultural politics, in order to achieve new cultural ambitions?

MIGUEL HONRADO, the Portuguese Secretary of State of Culture, will attend this discussion, with a brief introduction to the topic.
