The Women’s Open Choir Group has emerged from a basic citizen need for a collaborative activity: to conceive a safe, inclusive and welcoming space for women which defends the nuances of amateurism.
The participants meet to share knowledge of both traditional and modern songs from various countries, without necessarily having any previous experiences in choirs. The act of singing songs from different places in their original language together provides the possibility of tractioning topics such as multilingualism and cultural diversity. Additionally, the term ‘women’ has been utlised inclusively, meaning the group’s scope also includes individuals who identify with non-normative or non-binary gender identities. This group began to gather in 2022.
The group was active from 2022 to 2024.
