RIP IT UP AND START AGAIN: A space to talk, create, and reflect on music culture.

RIP IT UP AND START AGAIN is an alternative workshop space built around conversation, creativity and shared experience.

There are no panels or presentations. Instead, participants sit at informal tables with prompt questions about music making, access, safety, DIY culture and navigating industry spaces.

Using a collaborative zine-making approach - cutting, pasting, writing and drawing - people can share thoughts, stories and ideas in whatever way feels comfortable. The session is about listening, reflecting and learning from each other.
