WOMAN ON A MISSION
"All sisters unite, you can leave
your fear behind, believe in yourself, be strong"
For over more
than a decade of existence, Cross Club
Prague has been trying to act as an independent platform, supporting not
only art in general, but also stimulating a debate on its impact and broader
meaning in the context of culture. In our efforts, we have joined forces with Steve Vibronics, producer with more
than twenty years of experience and a catalogue of releases, firmly
establishing him as a leading figure in dub music worldwide. Our work is
fuelled by great passion for everything that promotes understanding and brings
people together. In that spirit we have supported many groups of people, who
are underprivileged and struggling to be heard, be it because of their skin
colour, nationality, gender or sexual orientation. In this project, we are
focusing on women, specifically women in music and thus literally providing
their cause with a voice. It is no secret that, even today, women face all
kinds of obstacles on their way to equality, yet many are quick to dismiss that
fact.
Our aim is to
involve women in music across all genres, no matter if they are up and coming,
or famous and share their experiences through series of interviews and talks.
Even though it may not seem so, the music industry too, is not always a level
playing field for men and women alike. The ultimate goal is a compilation album
series with the participants. 10% of the sales proceeds will go to Womankind
Worldwide (https://www.womankind.org.uk/), a women's rights and international
development organisation, while the rest will be used for the next release.
Release date March 8th!!!
