Did you know Taiwan is the first country in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage? In recent years, more young people in Taiwan have begun speaking up about gender and identity. Among them are a group of female hip-hop artists using music to share their experiences and express who they are.This talk will introduce the world of Taiwanese female rappers. Their styles are diverse, their voices are fresh, and their stories reflect a changing society. While they bring new energy to the scene, they also face challenges in an industry still dominated by men.
If you are curious about Taiwan, hip-hop, or gender issues, come listen. There is more to discover than just beats and rhymes.
你知道台灣是亞洲第一個讓同性婚姻合法的國家嗎？這幾年，台灣的性別平權發展很快，越來越多年輕人勇敢表達自己，不再被傳統文化限制。而在這股浪潮中，誕生了各種面貌的女性饒舌歌手，她們用麥克風重新定義台灣嘻哈。
這場講座會從三個角度出發：介紹台灣的文化背景、嘻哈音樂在台灣的成長，以及性別覺醒浪潮。我們會一起認識幾位風格不同、非常有特色的女性嘻哈歌手，看看她們怎麼用音樂表達自己的故事與立場。當然，她們在男性主導的音樂圈裡也遇到不少挑戰，讓我們一起聽聽這些幕後故事。
如果你對台灣、對音樂，或是對不同文化裡的性別議題有興趣，非常歡迎來聽聽這場講座。讓我們一起透過音樂，更了解一個正在改變中的台灣。
