Segotia is a community space for yoga classes, creative courses, art classes, exhibitions and events in Dublin.

Our panel was about how to sustain independent music communities in Dublin.

As music grows ever more entangled with unethical platforms and increased corporate interests – artists, organisers, and fans are rethinking their roles in the ecosystem, and building alternatives.

This live episode of the Nialler9 Podcast explores how to build and sustain independent music communities in Dublin and what they look like.

We look at how artist, collectives, and grassroots organisers are cultivating alternative networks — through co-operative communities, music collectives, community-run festivals to local independent venue spaces and more.
