I don't know what Norah was talking about either with her subtweet,
could be me, in which case let me say I'm very keen to put on events
showcasing new acts and/or that make new connections. If someone wants
to collaborate or is on tour, please send me stuff! There is often
funding I can help secure, e.g. I'm hosting an amazing artist from
Bolivia next week.

There's an amazing scene in Japan too, and from afar the South
American scene looks super exciting and vibrant.

There weren't any applications to host ICLC outside of Europe last
time, the steering committee encouraged people to apply, but hosting
ICLC is not an easy or profitable thing to take on, so it's difficult.
It has taken place in Canada and Mexico though, and Jesus and the team
in Madrid made amazing efforts to connect with the Latin American
scene last time, and this contribution felt essential. As Joanne's
experience also reflects, the contributions from Latin America seemed
to have deeper cultural and political aspects than many of the others.
cheers
