Lecture performance and talk

Dr. Benjamin Sprick and Jan Schlüter (moderation)

Feminism and hip hop are not necessarily immediately associated with each other by many people. Yet feminist rap also has a rich history. In her interactive lecture performance, Prof. Dr. Reyhan Şahin aka Lady Bitch Ray will show how patriarchal criticism and feminism have developed in German rap. The doctor of linguistics refers to several song examples and rap song analyses and invites the audience to interact. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity for transdisciplinary exchange and beataffine interaction.

Reyhan Şahin has taken up a one-year guest professorship for cultural studies in the Studium Generale at the UdK Berlin in the winter semester 2025/26. She is a linguist, semiotician and interdisciplinary Islam, gender and migration researcher. Dr. Şahin also works as a rapper, book and journalistic author, educational consultant, fashion designer, concept and performance artist and actress. Her doctoral thesis "The Meaning of the Muslim Headscarf", which was awarded the German Study Prize, is still the only basic research in this field.
You can find more information about Reyhan Şahin on the website of the UdK Berlin.
