ICYMI: The Signal Awards and AIR hosted a conversation on what it takes to be an independent audio creator today. From advice and resources on how to sustain your creative practice, to how we can collectively support independent media during the current political climate.
Signal Awards General Manager Jemma Rose Brown hosted the conversation alongside AIR Program Manager Erin McGregor, Audio Flux Co-Founder Julie Shapiro and Ruxandra “Rux” Guidi.
The conversation took as a starting point the truism that adversity births creativity. From there, the discussion turned to practical tools on pooling resources, getting sharp on your story and building your network.
Topics covered:
- How do you nurture your creative desires when the practical tactical and financial needs are always louder?
- What does it mean to be part of a community?
- What is an action someone tuning in can take today to build or support their community?
- How can listening be part of community building?
