Reading Reyhan Şahin aka Dr. Bitch Ray: YALLA FEMINISM !
Talk with the author and Marie Luise Lehner
Music by Bad&Boujee

Reyhan Sahin aka Dr. Bitch Ray honors the Glashörsaal F of the Kunstuni Linz on December 6, 2019 at the invitation of Fiftitu% and the AKG!
We invite you to listen to the explicit language of the doctor from the work "Yalla Feminism!". An evening where hip-hop, fuckademia, intersectional theories, anecdotes and precise analysis meet.
As a woman in everyday academic life, as a Turkish-Muslim Alevi and as a rapper in the hip-hop scene, Reyhan Şahin aka Dr. Bitch Ray knows how commonplace sexism, discrimination and racism are.
Her book "Yalla, Feminism!" (Tropen Verlag) is a polemic against this and a manifesto for female self-empowerment. In it, she describes a feminism that opposes racist exclusion and paternalism and demands self-determination for all people.

• After the reading, we invite you to a joint dialog with Marie Luise Lehner and Reyhan Sahin
• Followed by fat beats from the first ö all black female DJ collective Bad & Boujee
• Culinary delights from the myth collection are provided
• Book table from the Fürstelberger bookshop

Bad&Boujee is the first all black female DJ & MC collective in Austria and was founded by the two Viennese women Elisabeth Taruvinga & Enyonam Tetteh-Klu to support and celebrate black women* with different backgrounds. Together with their resident DJs Tonica Hunter & Tmnit Ghide and resident MC Tanya Moyo, they want to throw parties where every person - regardless of skin color, gender and sexuality - can feel comfortable and let go, thus setting an example for cohesion.
