About I Am All Womxn – Dance Transports | 2020

I Am All Womxn with Ella Mesma Company.

During lockdown, Ella Mesma Company invited 33 female artists to take part in I Am All Womxn, a piece of lock down art which celebrated and talks about the female experience. Watch it here.

Now, for this Dance Transports, Ella Mesma interviewed five female artists in Hip Hop to hear their intimate thoughts around the issues raised in the lockdown piece.

Watch the videos below and click here to download the transcribed interviews and learn more about the 5 artists.

In August earlier this year, Ella Mesma hosted an online conversation (via Zoom) where these local and international artists were invited to respond and share their thoughts on being a female artist in hip hop and on the future.

*womxn: we are using this alternative spelling to avoid suggestions of sexism perceived in the sequence of m-a-n and m-e-n, and to be inclusive of trans and non binary women.
