The Dignity Thing

VulnerableWin is an ambitious, roll-up-your-sleeves initiative designed to create incremental changes in how we think about each other, how we communicate, how we turn our vulnerability into strength and kindness, through education, art, and direct experiences.60% of it is love, 35% is patience, and 5% is everything else.

Where: <A HREF="http://www.thehivenyc.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Hive NYC </A>Address: 20 Cook Street, Brooklyn (<A HREF="https://www.google.com/maps/place/20+Cook+St,+Brooklyn,+NY+11206/@40.702033,-73.945369,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x89c25bfa36530d4f:0x89f12c5486597b08!8m2!3d40.702033!4d-73.943175" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">map)</A>.
Why: Most music industry events seem to preach the world views of suits and glasses. Almost no one one there is talking about the spirit which is utterly insane if you think about what music is.
You go to yet another conference, listen to a million useless speeches about the future of music industry, sit through informercials on how to kiss up to brands, talk in sound bites, and be deliciously unoriginal–and you want to either cry or vomit. When did music and art stop to be dangerous? 3 p.m. Opening reception  4 p.m. Why Art?
