University of Western Australia

Hosted by the Conservatorium of Music, this four-day international 
conference will focus on vital, diverse and inspiring music and art 
making by women and gender-diverse artists and scholars. Spotlighting 
otherwise under-recognised contributions to the development of music and 
art, Gender Diversity in Music and Art will both showcase and discuss 
the representations of this work in academia, industry and the 
everyday.The conference draws together the discussions that emerged from 
the Women in the Creative Arts (ANU 2017) and Gender Diversity in Music 
Making (Monash 2018) conferences. A cross-section of artists, art forms 
and academics will meet to share work and experiences and build 
opportunities for gender equity across these fields. Join us to share a 
wide spectrum of activity in this area including academic research, 
current industry approaches and discussions, and creative work.

Keynotes and artists in residence include Jennifer Walshe, Shoeb Ahmed, 
Robyn Schulkowsky, Vanessa Tomlinson, Sandy O'Sullivan, and more to be 
announced.

Papers, lecture-recitals and panel proposals are welcomed from people of 
all genders, as well as creative works (compositions, performances) by 
women and gender-diverse artists and scholars. Submissions by First 
Nations artists and scholars are particularly encouraged. Submissions
