The Right to Disconnect
Creating Healthy Screen Time Habits Through Planning and Boundaries
How can musicians build healthier relationships with screens, social media, and digital labour? How do we manage burnout to ensure it doesn’t crush us at critical times? How has modern social media impacted the creative practice and our mental health? Georgia Scarlett, Liz Whitt, and Trina Massey are here to guide you through this new pressure chamber we find ourselves in.
Surrender your productive, perfectionist, and purposeful music practice. Surround yourself in careless creation to ignite passion, joy, and curiosity to expand your true creative centre. We’ll examine what happens when enjoyment is lost in the creation of music and how it can supercharge our practice when it is found. Sartika, Adele Pickvance, and Patience Hodgson will share how they shake off the high pressures of perfection, how they use careless creation to heal themselves, and experiences of the purest careless creation for you to replicate in your own circles.

Shape-shifting Methods that Reinforces Circular Wealth in Our Community
The tale of the struggling artist is one part exploitation, another part depravity. The difference in the music industry is that we have the combined wealth and creativity to challenge extractive industry models. What are musicians already doing to keep money in the local scene? Where do we constantly send money to die and how can we reclaim it? What could a healthier, artist-first music economy look like? Executive General Manager of the Australian Live Music Business Council Ant McKenna, and international touring musician Jo Davie will start to lay the foundation for us all to sew the holes in our pockets.
