Other Ways of Knowing the Danish Music Industry: From Disorientation to Feminist Collective Capacity

In this article, we explore how women and gender-minoritized music professionals experience the gendered infrastructure of the Danish music industry. Based on ethnographic material, we discuss how the Music Movement of 2019, a closed online community, serves as a space where bodily and affective experiences of work-related sexism are shared and transformed into a feminist capacity in terms of a collective body of ideas and initiatives that privilege other ways of knowing popular music and the music industry. We argue that the Music Movement is in itself an important infrastructure that facilitates social change within the Danish music industry.
