Feminist, diverse and genre-defying: since 2014, Heroines of Sound has been celebrating early trailblazers and contemporary heroines of electronic sound. Uncompromising sounds echo the urgent crises of our time. In response to historically, geographically, and politically imposed dogmas the twelfth edition of the festival – through its concerts and performances – advocates for crossing boundaries that reach beyond the artistic realm.
Heroines of Sound Festival: Diverse and genre-defying in approach, Heroines of Sound has, since its inaugural edition in 2014, enhanced the visibility of women and gender-diverse artists within the arts and music scenes, while uncovering connections across genres and generations. Founded in 2014 by Bettina Wackernagel and a group of Berlin-based artists with a feminist agenda, the Heroines of Sound Festival highlights the pioneers of electronic sound and sparks important conversations with current perspectives, from contemporary art music to performance, sound art, and experimental pop.
