Shanta Thake, co-director of globalFEST, a global music platform established in 2003 in response to 9/11, is providing musicians from around the world a chance to showcase their art to a broader audience.

Unlike other music festivals, globalFest moves international music to the center of the performing arts field. It fosters a robust and sustainable ecosystem for world music in the United States. Its programs catalyze creative and artistic networks that break down cultural and social boundaries to support and share the world’s music through performance, touring and media.

Thake comments, “I was able to really see the impact of what it means to be working in a cultural space; what is the importance of the work that we're doing? How are we making the case for cultural work as a necessary part of civilization and what's the way that we can sort of move the dial, whether that's through conversation or through civic dialogue.

Familiarize yourself with the area that you want to go into. You can never do enough research to prepare yourself for the opportunity. “I work in a field of storytelling,” Thake concludes. “My narrative is really about trying to find ways to collaborate in a way that I think I started out really trying to figure out how to tell my own story. Now, I'm just much more interested in getting creative people together and figuring out the biggest possible impact we can have.”
