INTERNATIONAL SUMMER FESTIVAL 2024
As a performance artist, rapper, academic and author, Reyhan Şahin aka Dr. Bitch Ray works on intersectional (queer) feminism, racism, anti-Semitism and Islamism. At the summer festival, she invites a guest every Saturday to talk about these very topics in pop culture, society and politics.
Cana Bilir-Meier lives and works as a director, filmmaker and artist in Munich and Vienna. As Semra Ertan's niece, she founded the Initiative in Memory of Semra Ertan in Hamburg together with her mother Zühal Bilir-Meier in 2018. Her filmic, performative and text-based works operate at the interface between archival and documentary work, and are often dedicated to the resistant and invisible aspects of migrant life realities and biographies from a personal perspective. In 2019, she had a solo exhibition at the Hamburger Kunstverein.
