#FeminismToMe: Feminist Rap with Dr. Bitch Ray
#FeminismToMe: Rapper and Linguist Lady Bitch Ray on Female Empowerment in German Hip-Hop
Reyhan Şahin, AKA Lady Bitch Ray, breaks down narratives of female sexual objectification in hip-hop, and places female desire in the spotlight of her art instead. On October 10, 2018, Şahin will discuss her role as a musician and scholar using two of her songs, analyzing them from an intersectional-feminist point of view.
In 2012 Lady Bitch Ray successfully defended her dissertation with the topic “The Meaning of the Muslim headscarf in Germany.” In 2016 she completed her postdoctoral project on religious depictions of Muslim people on social networking platforms.
This evening is a part of our #FeminismToMe hashtag campaign. With this hashtag, we are collecting personal definitions of feminism on Instagram. The social media campaign is the overarching theme of a series of events, in which we give different voices of the feminist movement a platform at Goethe-Institut Washington.
Moderated by Hester Baer, Associate Professor and Head of Germanic Studies at the University of Maryland
