Natasha Lands hosts an event called Free Association to help connect young Vancouver artists across different mediums as they struggle with the city's high cost of living. As real estate prices rise due to foreign investment, artists are facing gentrification and being priced out of living and working in Vancouver. Tattoo artist Nina Chewlos shares a cramped studio space to keep costs low. While the art community thrives through events and organizations, many artists fear being forced to leave the city they love as housing becomes unaffordable. Lands hopes to bring greater awareness to the issue and help artists unite to fight for affordable housing and studio space in Vancouver.

It’s undeniable that music is an empowering force, and in particular, live music is the number-one producer of the positive human emotions and experiences that advertisers seek to tap – for example, favorite memories, shared moments, and friendships. The universality of music and its ability to create these powerful emotional experiences have made it a potent springboard, platform or component of brands’ marketing campaigns. This session will explore all the ways new media and technology are being harnessed to better connect fans, brands and bands around live music experiences.

Bands & Brands: A Guide to Experiential Activations at Music FestivalsPBJS
Music festivals are a great opportunity not just for bands, but for brands to reach new audiences. So how do companies avoid getting lost in the crowd?
In our guide to experiential activations at music festivals, we cover the current landscape and our five keys to making a lasting impression at fests large and small, along with shout-outs to companies who've crushed it at events like Lollapalooza, Coachella, Outside Lands and SXSW.

Disco emerged in the late 1960s and grew rapidly popular through the 1970s, with over 15,000 discos opening across the US. Disco nights brought together diverse groups on the dance floor to dance freely to percussive music. However, disco faced a backlash from social conservatives and was further damaged by its association with marginalized groups like the gay community as the AIDS crisis unfolded. While commercially successful, disco's inclusive culture challenged social norms and it was eventually replaced by new musical styles.

- Black popular music from the 1920s-1970s, including jazz, gospel, blues, and rhythm and blues, greatly influenced the development of rock and roll. However, black musical styles often existed separately from the mainstream pop market.
- In the 1950s, some black musical performers like Chuck Berry began to achieve mainstream success, and white musicians covering black songs also helped expose black music to broader audiences. However, questions remain about cultural appropriation within the music industry.
Early punk music originated in the mid-1970s as a rebellion against mainstream rock music and middle-class values in both the United Kingdom and United States. Punk bands like the Sex Pistols and Ramones promoted a do-it-yourself attitude through fast, stripped-down songs that criticized social and economic issues of the time. Punk fashion featured torn clothes, dyed hair, and safety pins as symbols of working-class defiance against societal norms. Punk concerts involved intense dancing like moshing that further challenged conformity. While initially a underground movement, punk grew in popularity and influence through the proliferation of fanzines and singles that expressed the spirit of political and cultural dissent.
Med332 the birth of the rock and roll consumerRob Jewitt
This document discusses the emergence of rock and roll music and the birth of the popular music consumer in the 1950s. Broad demographic changes following World War 2, including the baby boom and rising incomes for youth, helped create a new youth market.

New technologies like the 45 RPM record also helped spread rock and roll music to youth consumers and undermine the dominance of major record labels.
Heavy metal emerged in the late 1960s from genres like blues rock and psychedelic rock. It originated from bands like Black Sabbath in Birmingham, England that played heavily amplified, blues-influenced rock. In the 1980s, heavy metal became hugely popular commercially in the US and abroad, diversifying stylistically and attracting a more gender-balanced audience from various classes. However, the lyrics and imagery of many metal bands were criticized for celebrating misogyny, violence, and toxic masculinity. This led to parental advisory labels and Senate hearings over heavy metal's influence in the 1980s.
Med332 roots, rocks, reggae the politics of bob marleyRob Jewitt
This document provides an overview of the politics and influence of reggae musician Bob Marley. It discusses how reggae music emerged from earlier Jamaican genres like ska and rocksteady and was influenced by Rastafarianism. Reggae served as a form of protest music addressing issues like inequality, racism, and colonialism.

His lyrics frequently referenced Marcus Garvey and Haile Selassie and promoted Rastafarian ideals of repatriation to Africa.
Black British music originated from Jamaican ska music that was brought over by immigrants in the late 1950s. Ska fused American blues, do-wop and African styles and was popular among Jamaican youth subcultures. This music spread to British cities with large West Indian populations in the 1960s. By the 1970s, reggae emerged and addressed the experiences of institutional racism faced by second-generation black British youth. Fusions of punk and reggae in the mid-1970s helped transform the genre and appeal to working-class white British audiences facing similar issues. Labels like Two Tone in the late 1970s promoted indigenous multi-ethnic bands like The Specials and The Beat, exploring anti-racism

Tiffany Iwantoro_Exchange Rate Directional Forecasting using Sentiment Analys...Tiffany Iwantoro
Exchange rate markets are quite sensitive to unexpected news and events. Over the last few
years, investor’s sentiments toward exchange rate have been used to provide early indicators and
predict future movements. This research use data mining of investor’s sentiments through social
media, news articles, websites, blogs, forums, and group discussion to model and forecast
exchange rate. Daily data on the nominal exchange rate of major global currencies— USD,
EUR, and JPY against the IDR (Indonesian Rupiah) are collected from the entire year of 2015.
The methodologies used in this paper are big data analysis using LWIC (Linguistic Inquiry and

Street art began in Philadelphia in the 1960s after the death of jazz musician Charlie Parker. It later shifted to New York City in 1971 when artists began illegally painting trains, known as "bombing". While this new art form caused mixed reactions, it allowed artists to express themselves and their messages to the public in a genuine way. Street art is both praised for allowing expression and giving cities more character, but is also criticized as illegal vandalism that costs money to remove. Ultimately, street art has been influential in culture for thousands of years and will likely continue.

Here are some potential problems that could arise in a utopian society:
- Lack of diversity of thought. A utopian society often aims for uniformity and consensus, which could stifle dissenting or innovative ideas. This lack of intellectual and ideological diversity could limit progress over time.
- Boredom or lack of purpose. If all basic needs are easily met and there are no major challenges, some people may feel unfulfilled or lack a sense of purpose. Utopian societies need to provide opportunities for self-actualization and challenge.
- Overpopulation. If the society is too perfect, population growth may outstrip resources. Utopian plans need to consider potential population pressures and how to balance population

The document summarizes an interview with Australian artist Fiona Lowry. Some key points:
- Lowry won the 2014 Archibald Prize for her portrait of Penelope Seidler and it has led to increased public engagement and opportunities.
- She was drawn to Seidler as a subject after seeing her presence and learning of her involvement in the arts as an architect and being married to renowned architect Harry Seidler.
- Lowry's work often depicts nude figures in landscapes engaged in ambiguous activities and explores themes of love, loss, and desire. She finds inspiration in other Australian artists like Arthur Boyd, Sidney Nolan, Peter Booth, and Juan Davila.

Vancouver artists struggle through housing issues
Natasha Lands sit alone at The Imperial bar side. Surveying the growing crowd of
young people it’s clear she has hit financial quota, yet she proclaims out loud “I hope
this event works” and although her statement isn’t a cry for empathy, it’s something
she seems used to saying despite having frequent success with past events.. The
Imperial is hosting the first Free Association event; a multimedia broadcast for
young artists involved in fashion, jewelry and music production. The Imperial is a
premier private event venue located in the heart of the poorest postal code in
Canada, a contradiction towards the event’s demographic. As the fashion show
begins, the audience migrates into social clusters that look like cliques in a high
school cafeteria and the criticism quickly begins. With the price of living being so
high in Vancouver, it makes it easier to critique for free than be the one being
critiqued.
Natasha Lands or known in the art community as “Cherchez La Femme” a French
phrase for “look for the woman” is notorious for her work in event planning.
Working as a DJ, a promoter, a gallerist, a label owner and now owner of Free
Association this has made her a strong figure among Vancouver artists. She hopes to
join artists together to fight the price of living involved with the Vancouver lifestyle.
As lands previously stated in her feature article on the Province “I want to get
creative kids paid and allow them to do what they want and not leave the city” an
arising problem as the cost of living increases.
Wendell Cox, an American urban planner and CEO for Demographia rated
Vancouver the third most unaffordable city in the world, falling to third place
under Sydney and Hong Kong; two cities, which have twice the population of
Vancouver. As the price of living increases within Vancouver, the average young
adult can experience tension when purchasing paintings and supporting local artist
as the rent checks are consuming most of the income. Gentrification is sweeping
artists and they’re being left studio homeless, an issue Lands faced as she was
evicted from her studio space due to spikes in housing prices.
As of 2016, it has never been more unaffordable to own a single home and
apartments are up next. Tattoo artist Nina Chewlos shares a Chinatown studio with
5 other artists making her rent 200 a month, a price she pays to share a chair with
another tattoo artist where she only tattoos 2 days of the week. Chewlos supports
herself as a line cook in the however like most artists Chewlos reassures art is her
main passion and career focus not the 9-5.

Vancouver artists struggle through housing issues
The Vancouver art community thrives regardless of the economical discomfort issue
growing. Vancouver’s famous art university Emily Carr plans to house a new
campus with studios for ceramics, woodworking and classroom theatres. Vancouver
also hosts art shows for local and out-of-town artists, which can be seen at spaces
such as Fortune Sound Club. Vancouver has beautiful scenery, a mixture of cultures
and constant creative flow. The live music scene is colorful and reaches to almost
every genre known from live reggae to industrial “noise” music. Chapel Sound is a
collective of musicians contributing numerous genres stemming from trip-hop to
down-tempo and other heavy bass influenced sub-genres. 8 members formally lived
together in an Mt Pleasant household where music was produced as the months
went by and parties were thrown. Sadly gentrification had taken over the producer
household and the house is now being torn down. Only a quarter of the rent was
being paid with gig money. Member Futon Don doesn’t see the cost of living
affecting the fans however, as “the support thing doesn't really get affected in my
opinion because cover charges and stuff doesn't move with inflation, you know?”
Statistics show a high number of foreign investors correlating with the housing
prices, due to the governments lack of taxing foreign exchange the market was
quickly swiped and bought up by immigrant buyers. When asking Land’s her
opinion on this study, her tone quickly changes, “this city is corrupt it’s worst than
the TV show “ The Wire”, look at the docks and how much drug money is laundered
through there.” This statement may seem outlandish and possibly just fueled
through frustration however this has been reported last year by the prestigious
National Post, “Hells Angels and criminal gangs came to control much of the
Vancouver docks” factoring this into Vancouver’s crisis for artist defiantly adds
flame to fire if true however is nothing to point the finger at.
As the housing market rises, young adults will feel economically pressured to move
to other cities to showcase their talents, leading Vancouver into a creativity desert.
Musician Tommy Genesis despite a Vancouver upbringing showcases her “fetish
rap” through Atlanta’s Indie-Rap scene under “Awful Records”; she is now planning
a world tour, a major leap from being a local Vancouver performer.
The lucrative profit fueled selling technique known, as shadow flipping may appear
as a suitable way to point blame at this issue. Shadow flipping is where someone
buys a house, they sit on it with or without vacancy, the property price raises then
it’s resold which then leaves the real estate agent and the original homeowner with
a hefty profit in their pockets. After this is repeated a few times, the real estate
agents can generate large commission. Combine this technique with the large
increase of foreign buyers and this adds insult to injury. However simply blaming
this issue on immigrants will not help artists creative flow, as the NDP MLA for Point
Grey David Eby stated “There are always a few racist morons out there, but there

are way more people who say B.C. was built through the efforts of immigrants and
more immigrants are great” when questioned on this immigrants fueling the
housing market in the Globe and Mail last November 2015.
As Mercer named Vancouver the best place to live in all of North America, the
population will only continue to grow; attracting more buyers from overseas or not.
The artists of Vancouver that were raised in the historic neighborhoods are pushed
to the side due to unrealistic rent prices combined with lack of profit. Land’s
believes through Free Association, artists will be able to come together in unity and
finally find a solution to the housing market. The tight legislation with event
planning however makes events like Free Association a financial risk as many
independent events are shut down by police due to fear of violence arising despite
these events being calm, sanctioned events for young artists. Lands also states the
cities strict drinking laws contribute to event planning be a complicated procedure.
Which ultimately makes this career a major struggle as artist bookings can take a
major decrease in audience numbers as the 19 plus age cap is enforced heavy. If a
minor enters a 19 plus venue, the server, the minor and the venue can face heavy
fines and liquor server de-licensing. This law leads venues to go 19 plus for all
events despite artist demographic because the cost of de-licensing for one night is
too much of a financial risk. An outlandish law as music can be enjoyed despite
liquor being served.
Land worries for the financial and artistic state of Vancouver. Her event-planning
portfolio stretches far and wide from booking mini ramp skate parties to drag
performances, which matches her personality; the pink hair is just the icing on the
crazy cake. However she cannot ignore the crisis Vancouver is facing and neither
can the rest of Vancouver’s artists. The purpose of Free Association is to broadcast
Vancouver’s artists ultimately bringing them all together creating support for one
and other. Until now, Vancouver is leading itself into being an economic ghost town
as artists begin to relocate. However if this issue is brought to mainstream attention,
Vancouver will be able to remain the best place to live in North America.
