مجموعة دولية خارقة تضم نساء ملونات من مناطق الصراع الدولية
GRRRL is an electronic music collaboration between revolutionary women, brought together by In Place of War. GRRRL music is directed by Brazil’s Laima Leyton (Mixhell/Soulwax), and the project features an exhilarating mix of influential artists, including Zimbabwe’s Rapper Queen AWA (African Women Arise), The Queen of Brazilian Dancehall Lei Di Dai, The Young Lioness of Africa Wiyaala, UK/Bangladeshi vocalist Sohini Alam, and DJ and Percussionist from Caracas, MABE.
GRRRL’s debut EP was released in 2018, and included an unreleased track featuring Charlotte Adigéry ‘Light Up (Beautiful Freak)’.
الصراع
النساء الملونات من مناطق النزاع من بين أكثر الناس تهميشا في العالم. من فافيليا حرب العصابات في البرازيل، إلى زيمبابوي المضطهدة سياسيا وجنوب أفريقيا ما بعد الفصل العنصري - غالبا ما تقتصر النساء في هذه الصراعات على المنزل والحياة بلا أمل. وكثيرا ما يتعرضن للتمييز باسم الدين والتقاليد، ويسيئ إليهم الرجال في المجتمع المحلي، وكثيرا ما تُسكت أصواتهم.
العمل
In Place of War decided to address this lack of women’s voices and created GRRRL - an electronic music collaboration between revolutionary women from places of conflict expressing themselves on their terms, in their languages, with their stories. Together, these fierce influential artists have worked with Laima Leyton (Mixhell/ Soulwax) to create a music and touring project that powerfully tells their collective stories and demonstrates how artistic creativity can conquer conflict around the world.

An album has been released and the artists have developed a huge media profile across platforms including the BBC, Vice and Noisey, to tell their stories and inspire women in areas of conflict around the world.
