Throughout its history, hip-hop has always been seen as a mouthpiece, yet it rarely gets asked who is even speaking to whom – and from what position. With her party series Femme DMC in Vienna, Dafina Sylejmani established a concept that dissolves the unvoiced contradictions of hip-hop culture by passing the mic to the voiceless. Migrant perspectives get the spotlight along with women and queer identities. As an MC herself going by Dacid Go8lin, she raps in Albanian but nonetheless gets the message across to a German-speaking audience. In her own words, »I'm always talking in Albanian, but even though they don't understand anything, people feel spoken to. Meaning, I touch them.« Which is another way of using hip-hop as a mouthpiece – at eye level.
