Three images placed next to each other and separated by wavy lines showing Black women. On the left is Fave in a monochrome reddish-brown image. She is looking out of the picture to the left, wearing a long-sleeved, tight top in the same colour with cutouts on her collarbone and arms. Her red hair is styled into double buns at the top of her head, with the rest of her long hair falling down her back. She wears glitter stones in the shape of cat's eyes around both eyes, gold creoles and a silver chain from which hangs a cleverly designed large cross. Her lips are outlined with brown lipliner and glossed. Ria Boss in the centre is looking up out of the picture to the left over her sunglasses, which are perched on her nose. She wears her black hair twisted into twists, a black t-shirt with red eye-catching lettering, gold creoles, a colourful necklace. The background is black with neon pink parallel fluorescent tubes. Pamela Owusu-Brenyah can be seen on the right. She looks serious into the camera, has her arms crossed, wears her long black hair loose and is wearing a blue and white baseball jacket with the name Steve written on it.

Fave, Ria Boss, Moderation: Pamela Owusu-Brenyah

Pop from the African continent has entered the global stage and is set to stay there. At least, the men will. Female acts are obviously disadvantaged in their representation. To get to the bottom of the socio-economic conditions that block women’s access and visibility in the local and global pop world, Afro-pop expert and Pop-Kultur curator Pamela Owusu-Brenyah travelled to Ghana to work with artists and experts from the music business. Having previously shown her documentary film »ADIKORO – Women in Music – Ghana« at Pop-Kultur 2021, she now wants to talk to the musicians Fave from Nigeria and Ria Boss from Ghana about their experiences in the African music landscape: How have their careers gone so far, where have the difficulties been, and what challenges have they had to overcome? An artist talk about gender equality in the music business.
