Workshop / Atelier COMETES Project:

Marion Petit is in charge of sustainable practices at Grabuge, the pop music industry network of the Grand Est region. She coordinates projects aiming at equity, eco-responsibility and health prevention for the members of the network and more broadly for all the actors of pop music in the region. The Grabuge network supports them in the implementation of prevention actions for professionals and public audiences.

Grabuge is the network of pop music industry in the Grand Est region. It was born in 2020, following the merger of the 3 former regions Alsace, Lorraine and Champagne-Ardenne.

The main objective of the network is to allow players to act in a common ecosystem, while remaining independent and nourishing it with their variety of points of view, professions and aesthetics. Grabuge counts about 85 members today. Joining the network is a form of support and participation in the movement. The network resonates beyond the members since it is open to all actors of pop music, whatever their project, their desire and their aesthetic.

Stéphanie Gembarski has been active in the contemporary music sector for around twenty years, working across project and venue management as well as supporting industry stakeholders. 

Since 2014—while having remained connected to it throughout her career—she has been involved with Fédélima, and since 2019 she has been more specifically engaged in issues related to equality, diversity, and artistic and cultural practices.

She is responsible for all matters related to equality and diversity in pop music, as well as issues linked to artistic and cultural practices (amateur practices, arts education, cultural initiatives, and young audiences).
