Sholeh Asgary along with 3,979 artists in Basta Now, Women, Trans & Non-Binary in Experimental Music by Fanny Chiarello

"I would like this inventory, by its simple existence, to respond to the curators of festivals and other musical events who I can hear say, “We would like to program more women, trans and non-binary but how do we find them?“ And this long list is an answer that could be translated as “Open your eyes, they are here, they are everywhere.“ And now here it is: my list of approximately 3979 artists."
