All interviews are carried by improvised music, made by George Dumitriu (viola, guitar), Sarah Jeffery (recorders) and Andrea Voets (harp).This episode was recorded on the 8th of March 2025 at Gigant Apeldoorn, hosted by Artez University of the Arts.In this episode:(01:50) David [°1998 - Rotterdam, NL]: "In some sense, it feels like you’re always still proving yourself, also in your insecurities."(06:10) Daniela [°1997 - Salerno, IT]: "I really have the feeling that every time I talk with someone I have to give the correct answer because if I made a mistake then I’m not good enough and I’m not in that same level. And I feel that especially with men."(11:06) Chris [°1995 - Maastricht, NL]: "My students, they are very vulnerable. And I’m just scared to send them into a world where there are so many professionals in the field who might take advantage of them in that way. But I’m also hopeful, because the world has changed in the last few years. They are also more aware."(15:44) Trinke [°1992 - Maastricht, NL]: "Especially in that region of the country, where women were just supposed to be there for the family, my mother was the one with the better education and she was the bread winner of our household. […] I actually like a lot that she didn’t make too much of a fuss about these things. It gives me the energy and the security to do things my way."(18:40) Marianna [°1997 - Olivella, ES]: "We need to sell ourselves in the perfect way. Every time we speak, every time we play we need to make sure that that’s the right thing. And what makes me really angry is that I also do that with other women."(24:22) What do you deserve? "To trust that I can do it" "The patience to give me more time to digest and thing about everything."Made by Resonate Productions -creating musical journalism-Music & interviews by Andrea Voets, Sarah Jeffery & George DumitriuSound & recording by Hayden Hook - Dam RecordingsFunded by: AFK, FPK, BNG, Cultuurfonds, DioraphteInsta: resonate.productions || facebook.com/musicaljournalism || www.resonate-productions.com Hosted on Acast.

  FOR REAL is a podcast on human dignity, made by Resonate Productions.In each episode, we get together with a group of people in a theater, to look into what it means to matter as a person. All interviews are carried by improvised music, made by George Dumitriu (viola, guitar), Sarah Jeffery (recorders) and Andrea Voets (harp).This episode was recorded on the 10th of March 2025 at TU Delft, the Netherlands, hosted by DEWIS.In this episode:(01:40) Seju [°2000 - Mahoba, IN]: "I am afraid people see me as someone who is not from Europe. 'This is where you come from so this is perhaps how you think, what you do and what you like.' That is scary. I would want people to see me behind their own vices. Not as a female engineer, who can only be interested in female problems." "So much is overlooked because of your gender." "What exactly?" "Those are thoughts I do not want to think about."(08:00) Parisa [°1995, IR]: "I am not taken seriously and left out at meetings here at TUDelft. Which doesn't make sense to me: it is a scientific discussion. In one-to-one discussions I always feel heard, but in groups with men not, I feel left out. I constantly feel I need to make my voice heard, and I shouldn't. If I force it, it becomes a pity-attention, and that also does not work. I don't understand why this happens. How can we solve this?"(13:23) Carolina [°1999, PT]: "'Are you sure you can do that?' That hits you with embarrassment, to take up your own space. It is some shame, especially when you are young. It was said to me that my presence was essential because I had to bring some peace into a room of male energy. Almost mothering me. They were old enough to be my father. But they are not sexist, right? Because they have mothers and daughters they do respect, they are just trying to protect me..." (19:29) Tracy Davis [°1985, Capetown, SA]: "Not only being a female but also a female of colour, especially from South Africa with a painful history, based on race. You are filling the quota and it is also a big responsibility. Trying to be the example. It's also something to be grateful for: you are able to try, to step out. To be able to empower the others."(25:41) Victory [°1994, Nigeria] and Natalie Mesa [°1991, Peru]: about micromachismo, "being called Natisita in my first job as an engineer in the mining sector. The others were 'doctor' even though they were not." And: "Hey mom, you are strong, you are brave and I love you. My mom has 7 girls and 1 boy and went to university after having all of us. She just pulled through and kept up showing up every day."(32:40) What do you deserve? "To be free to just be." "To have space to act when we need it, but also rest when we need it." "The relief to not need to be a superwoman." "The benefit of the doubt." "To be myself, even if I change the way I am at some point." "Support."

"A leader who humiliates, is not a leader."(05:13) Janneke [°2001, Wierden, NL]: "I am a musician, and technicians feel the urge to explain me where the ON-button is on an amp. Explaining me I am not holding my guitar correctly."(09:26) Eva [°1989, Leeuwarden,NL]: "The patriarchal system is heavy and unsafe for everyone."(12:55) Sytzke [°2003, a village next to Leeuwarden,NL]: "I feel the responsibility to be bubbly.

All interviews are carried by improvised music, made by George Dumitriu (viola, guitar), Sarah Jeffery (recorders) and Andrea Voets (harp).This episode was recorded on the 30th of October 2024, Schuur, Haarlem, 20u (NL).In this episode:(01:48) Emmy [°1988 - USA] asks musician Sarah about the red threads in all the interviews of FOR REAL so far.(4:07) Anonymous: "I went to art school and I was in the year with a rapist. Everybody excused that guy. Teachers only going to the bar with the men, sniffing coke together. People say to you: "Oh, but you can really see it was made by a women". And then you think it must be me, my art is not good enough. I am running an art space now, trying to do the exact opposite of what I was taught in art school."(08:05) Lilly [NL] "What responsibilities lie on your shoulders? Is that in the first place I am a mum. I have two beautiful daughters (...) what I try to do in raising them is to make them strong and resilient. Show them that they really have to be themselves."(14:08) Anonymous: "I had a fight at work where I was treated very unjustly. I told it to my therapist. And she said: 'are you aware you are telling me this with a huge smile?' It's something a lot of women do. It's probably because it is safer to be friendly all the time than to be angry".(17:05) Sil: "I felt very much how much the world at the moment needs women. There is so much we can do and a man can not." E.g. on the privilege of giving birth to children. "We are lucky to be a woman. I feel that every day."(20:59) Robin: "I deserve pleasure. And this is difficult for me, because when I was born, the doctor did not see a willie so he said "it's a girl". I'm 33 now and a couple of years ago I came to realise that that small sentence trapped me. I think, people are worried for my happiness. That's an experience that you feel at ease with yourself. Joy beyond the labels. I think that's what we all deserve."Made by Resonate Productions -creating musical journalism-Music & interviews by Andrea Voets, Sarah Jeffery & George DumitriuSound & recording by Hayden Hook - Dam RecordingsFunded by: AFK, FPK, BNG, Cultuurfonds, Dioraphte Hosted on Acast.

All interviews are carried by improvised music, made by George Dumitriu (viola, guitar), Sarah Jeffery (recorders) and Andrea Voets (harp).This episode was recorded on the 30th of October 2024, Schuur, Haarlem, 17u30.In this episode:(01:25) Jolanda [°1969 - Terschelling, NL] "We need the other 50% too, to start to make a difference. I would love to find men who say: I was one of those men and I'm sorry."(04:50) Tuhin [°1988 - Kolkata, IN] "When I work with women, I see they put in 20 times the work. They question if they belong here. That confidence will take a lot of time to build. This is very counterproductive to the ecosystem. We all play a role here."(10:05) Francesca [°1991 - Montepulciano, IT] "The responsibilities... towards my daughter. Her education, giving her food, transmitting values. Breaking the chain of traumas I am inheriting from the past. Which might be one of the hardest responsibilities on my shoulders. Transmit her the feeling she is not alone in her struggles in the world. She does not need to surrender to the individualism around us."(14:19) Gina [°1990 - Amsterdam, NL] "Everybody listens to my brother all the time, he talks all the time. That frustrates me. I wanted my family to listen to me. I raised my voice, the response was: 'Gina! You put all the attention on you! You are probably drunk.' I had to laugh and then I got really sad."(19:34) Rachel [°1983 - Leeds, UK] speaks with Tabitha [°1987 - Albuquerque, USA] who was thinking about her mother a lot. "I was a responsibility on her shoulders. She cleaned houses and felt invisible." Rachel speaks about the fear to speak out, and experiments with expressing herself in public, for example in her own music. It takes a lot of courage. (24:35) Marelie [°1978] meets Durga [°43 years old, I think]. "I said no to be interviewed by Andrea. I think only sad stories about women will be remembered. I was worried people only remember sad stories. I deserve a strong voice. We deserve strong stories." Marelie: "My mom was sent off as an au pair, her brother was allowed to go to college. I am so happy to hear different stories from the people in their 20s now."Made by Resonate Productions -creating musical journalism-Music & interviews by Andrea Voets, Sarah Jeffery & George DumitriuSound & recording by Hayden Hook - Dam RecordingsFunded by: AFK, FPK, BNG, Cultuurfonds, DioraphteFind us on instagram.com/resonate.productions | facebook.com/musicaljournalism | [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
