From the roots of recorded Jamaican music - born out of struggle and social and economic change - the voices of the people, expressed through the music, have moved social and political change at home and have inspired artistic protest abroad. Between the rage against unequal power structures and the grace of music’s ability to communicate and inspire, Jamaica has taken its place in the world as an instrument for change. Sending shock waves of artistic and creative influence around the world in a new era that is trending away from the monopolization of power, how are new modalities of music, the internet, blogging and mash-ups of cartoons, slogans, jokes and web series driving attitudes that shape markets, win elections, change hearts and minds and the way nations are governed? And how will the gems of cultural output, artistic resistance, and the creative disobedience that continues to sprout across the internet and at the grassroots of viral peer-production ignite global transformation?
Featuring the interplay of art, business, politics and society and the” players” at its intersection, Music: An Instrument for Change brings IWF, from the heart of Jamaica, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas, the leaders and storied artistic legends whose imprint on our world is changing us.
