"Monika Werkstatt" live
concert start: 8:30 pm
"Monikas Werkstatt" is a female producer and artist collective from Berlin, founded by Gudrun Gut, with musicians from the label Monika Enterprise and Moabit Musik.
Monika Werkstatt makes music that is not pure weekend entertainment, but has a clear experimental approach, opens up and is also vulnerable in its freedom. At the same time the experienced artists inspire others and encourage them in their work - the best inspiration comes from the past life, also the past life of mistakes and experiments, which inevitably arise during improvisations. Monika Werkstatt wants to be more than music.
(with Gudrun Gut, Barbara Morgenstern, Pilocka Krach, Lucrecia Dalt)
About Female To Empower:
Female composers, DJs and producers have always been part of the musical present. However, in the great, male-dominated narratives of music history they are still hardly mentioned today. The concert and film series Female to Empower therefore wants to tell the barely heard small and big stories of music from an exclusively female perspective.
To this end, Female to Empower combines music documentaries with live concerts in order not only to provide a historical-documentary retrospective, but also to take a contemporary look at the musical work of women* in popular music.
The series immerses itself in the biographies and working environments of musical pioneers, who not only aim to be role models, but also to point out perspectives and strategies.
