EsRAP:
Esra and Enes Özmen are the Viennese rap duo, EsRAP, who sing + perform about their life stories growing-up with Turkish roots in Ottakring, everyday racism, Islamophobia, and rootlessness. In 2017, they founded “Gürtel Squad”, a series of events on rap music and hip-hop. EsRAP released their first album “Tschuschistan” in 2019.
During the artist talk, they will speak further with the audience about their work, as well as on cultural identities, the “value” of being children and/or descendants of immigrants, the possibilities of music as an expression of one’s life experiences and protest.
