Chaired by acclaimed composer and professor, Sandeep Bhagwati, the panel will discuss: Decolonization as a Creative Force in Musicking.

"We read and hear a lot about decolonization as a moral and political necessity for our cultural institutions - but we rarely discuss the aesthetic benefits it brings. Which new ideas, new imaginations, new concepts and new aesthetic sensibilities arise from processes of inclusion and decolonization? Does decolonization broaden our perspectives, open our minds and ears to new ways of experiencing beauty, truth, depth, wisdom, both as makers and as listeners ? Do we find new roles for sound and music in our lives?"
