Episode 10 – MY EMANCIPATION DON’T FIT IN YOUR EQUATION – Hellwana & Jemah

The Institute of Anxiety creates a space for the study of anxiety, which is spreading throughout society and manifests itself through insomnia, stress, alienation, loss of empathy, inequalities, and violence. It is suppressed without success by products of the pharmaceutical industry and intensified by growing social and economic uncertainty. The institute aims to be a platform where anxiety communicates and opens itself to a potential solution and turns into a force that is capable of radicalizing and forcing structural changes in the current state of affairs.

Monika Evans aka Hellwana is a rapper and a singer. She was born in Prague, but she spent her childhood with her family in England and her roots can be traced to the Caribbean. Currently she is collaborating with the Bigg Boss label and she is working on a new album. How is she able to incorporate personal and sometimes painful topics into her music? What is expected of young women artists and what is the role of social networks in the life of women in music?

Just like Hellwana, rapper, singer and producer Jemah lives in Prague. Most often Jemah is collaborating with Slovak rapper Kubowelly, recently they released an encouraging single “Ake by to bolo” / “What it would be like”. How does she approach improving her rap skills? Does she find any parallels between the experiences expressed in the lyrics of Afro-American rappers and the experiences of Roma minority facing structural racism in the Czech Republic? Does she find inspiration in her roots?
