Rave Scout Cookies aims to foster a vibrant and inclusive electronic music community that celebrates diversity, empowers marginalized artists, and creates transformative experiences on dance floors where everyone feels welcome and liberated to express themselves authentically. Our mission is to disrupt and diversify the nightlife industry by supporting BIPOC* and LGBTQ+** professionals in the electronic music industry to self-develop their careers, providing them with the appropriate resources to showcase their talent, and pushing them to the frontlines of the line-ups and stages that make up our music ecosystem.
They have asked the IMI lab to tackle the challenge: “How can we ensure that venues, promoters, and other industry gatekeepers are implementing equal opportunities for marginalized talent?”
