Call 2019 Popular Music and Recording Studio

What is the GAM call?
There are different ways of entering programming for the annual GAM offer, one of the most relevant being the open call that constitutes these bases of participation for national popular music artists.

In addition to this modality, GAM generates other programmatic income which may consist of: direct invitations from the programming direction and audiences under the criteria that articulate management interests and/or specific content and the management of national and international projects. The curatorial lines of these formats are defined internally and are carried out in a manner consistent with this call. It is emphasized that this call includes the use of spaces for recording and/or exhibition of musical projects in room A1 for the second semester of 2019.

What are we looking for?
Proposals that integrate contemporary views or languages ​​within the field of popular music will be privileged. Emphasis is placed on genres other than classical music, given that GAM already has a stable offer in this musical language through its current collaboration agreements with other institutions.

GAM does not have mandatory artistic lines for its programming. The themes and artistic styles for this application are free and must respond to the creative interests of national artists and/or creators. However, in order to articulate segments of programmatic work that act as references to a social dialogue, special attention will be paid to those projects that, for the year 2019, are related to the following axes:
• Memory, heritage and utopias: paradigms and themes that speak of shifts in the political, economic and cultural perspective as agents of social change. The premise “Art and Counterculture” will question how great social shifts generate views, movements and communities around cultural ideologies. With special attention this year we will delve into milestones that have generated counterculture movements such as the 50 years of the New Chilean Song, among others.
• Young audiences and the family segment: 30 years after the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child, GAM focuses on the relevance of these audiences as key agents in the formation of new audiences and in the construction of cultural capital. The universal recognition of their rights is celebrated with an emphasis on non-discrimination against children, recognizing with special attention refugees, migrants, disabled people and minorities.
• Birth of Gabriela Mistral: GAM's name honors the poet Gabriela Mistral, Nobel Prize winner in Literature who in 2019 commemorates the 130th anniversary of her birth. Artistic proposals are received that address biographical aspects of Mistral, as well as a focus on her facets related to her groundbreaking outlook, innovative in her social work in the political, gender, and field of education.
