Join us for an interactive discussion on creating a paradigm shift within the music industry by restructuring working models of labels and collectives. Hosted by Paula Hakkaja aka Freya Algiz (Field Conspiracy), we aim to shed some light on the challenges that we see as obstacles for social change within the creative industry.

Only through collaboration and cooperation can we manifest a reality where our management systems are defined by the interests of communities. However, often our collective empowerment is undermined by the fear of the unknown that derives from doubting ourselves and our capabilities. In addition to any questions on the day, we aim to tackle the following problems during the talk:
> What are co-operatives and how do they compare to traditional business models?
> Can co-ops provide a solution for fair distribution of income and balanced bargaining power for the artists?
> Can we create flat hierarchies within an organization and are they enough to ensure sustainable working models?
> What are the greatest challenges of co-operative working models?
> How can NFTs be used as a tool for creating sustainable income to artists with the help of independent labels?
