CONCEPT

Art, music and sound creation, among others, are global phenomena and a reflection of the cultural system to which they belong.
Sex is one of the key categories that shape and / or determine a musical or artistic experience and / or individual.
Others to consider are the gender, age or ethnicity as a significant and interdependent factors:
effects of gender in talk or set of values, attitudes, behaviors, capabilities, roles, feelings ...,
culturally assigned to a person because born of one sex or the other depending on what each company
and each historical moment is considered to be duty and a woman or a man.
Ultimately, it is a cultural construction, often limiting the development of people in any field of public participation
because the system of patriarchy, which is seen as especially significant in artistic and cultural fields.

Little by little has been revealed in these studies that the creators, composers, managers, producers and multidisciplinary artists,
have found a very different situation to that of their male colleagues, from different points of view: challenges for training,
implementation, representation of their works, the lack of benchmarks-not because women did not exist but because they are not visible-,
hence the lack of exchanges between artists and creators in the form of network, etc.. A closed circle. What has aroused various reactions:

• An art and sound creation with non-democratic strategies of direct and indirect discrimination in employment, creative, visible, politically.

• Demotivation effect or impact of blame or isolation.

• A glorification of the "female interpretation" as a distinct, distinguished, and that rises above the male ..., mainly when speaking of real equality between women and men, great or not-in the creation and SONICAS experimental music, we speak of structural and non-discriminatory to reward excellence in a select group of creative highlighting. With an inadequate approach to the creation of artists SONICAS as a uniform group, with no heterogeneity, with the same needs and expectations, when the diversity among them is key.

• A response from denial of discrimination or resistance that were direct or subtle, such as Ethel Smyth noted in the 30's: "No sex in art. What matters is how the touches of violin, painting or composing or Amy Beach in the 40s: "My work from the beginning has always been considered as work, not for my sex sometimes confusing feminism as social movements with more 500 years of history, the victimization.

• Increased feminist awareness

SONICAS is a platform that works in the local frame, to achieve global impact and that this is the bottom key in the framework, among others, the report of the UNESCO World Commission for Culture and Development (1995), which emphasizes that the relationship between sex and culture as an important contribution to sustainable development was a priority area for exploration.

As to value creation:

-The art is the heritage of the future.

-The power to create a particular ability which comes from the strength and originality and the artist and that is important to encourage full disclosure and the talents of each person as a manifestation of a fundamental freedom.

In terms of participation and management of diversity in creation:

In the admission to artistic and along them, can not accept any form of discrimination based on sex, race or religion. Women and men should be considered equal, both in law and in facts.

-The trend toward standardization of the way of thinking and cultural productions, which often stems from considerations of maximum and immediate profitability is a threat to the diversity of creation.

-It is essential that recognized the role of the creative and the whole society, which is enhanced by all means and in particular, education and information, public interest in art and creation .

-It is for the artists, towards the horizon of the future, charting the ways of a new alliance between ethics, technology and aesthetics. The attention of the artist and respect for their status largely depends on the evolution of societies.

With regard to the interdependence of Communication, Network and Technology for a Joint Artistic:

-The artists of all countries should be encouraged and supported to join. Organizations should receive the necessary support for structured and carry out effective action. It is particularly important to foster the development of independent organizations and to establish mechanisms for consultation which do not exist yet.

-The information reported by the media as a major means of democratizing access to art and to arouse interest in artistic practices.

-New technologies enable foster artistic exchange. In themselves constitute a vast field of research for the artists involved the potential for the creation and formación.La will and determination to design strategies for improved management of the diversity of individual and artistasde Experiments related areas is the main pillar of the initiative on their path SONICAS present and future by creating a first basis for doing so.
