Feminist rapping means standing up together against oppression. The rap project A Woman's Work deals with the paid and unpaid work of women* and their struggles, both in content and in practice. The results: a song and music video, an award-winning audio piece, and an open-air summer studio.
The work done by women* in private is made invisible, while the public space is still mainly occupied by young people. That's why the motto of A Woman's Work is: show presence! For this, girls* from the intercultural center for girls* and young women* MÄDEA, together with the carpenters from Baufachfrau Berlin e.V., built an open-air studio in their neighborhood in Wedding. For three weeks, the studio was a canteen, editorial office, stage, and meeting point. Here, they cooked, ate, discussed gender-specific job and role assignments, interviewed, wrote, and rapped. Always with the goal of disrupting prescribed place and role assignments, seeking perspectives, and raising their own voice independently. The rap coaches EBOW, SISTER FA, and Leila Ey were there to support. In addition, the following people were guests at the open studio as workshop leaders and interview partners: activist Tina K., moderator Joumoke Adeyanju, dancer Clara Wellner Bou, the women's advisory board for urban planning in Mitte, Kakadu Community Kitchen Wedding, DJ Gesa Illing, and journalist Hengameh Yaghoobifarah (Missy Magazine, Taz).
All guests also speak in the audio piece of the same name. Don't miss it!
A Woman's Work – wir kämpfen uns zur Freiheit, denn wir sind alle eine Einheit! Wir stehen im Lichte, machen die Rollenverteilung zu Nichte, schreiben daraus Geschichte, das ist, was ich berichte!
