The lecture is part of Red Bull Music Festival which is happening across the entire city of Berlin for the next month, running parallel to the 20th-anniversary edition of Red Bull Music Academy.
A singer, songwriter, producer and actress, Janelle Monáe has been electrifying audiences with her hybrid brand of Afrofuturist funk, soul and R&B since her 2010 debut LP The ArchAndroid. Most recently, the Kansas City native and Wondaland label head has starred in two award-winning films, Moonlight, and Hidden Figures, and released 2018s critically-acclaimed audiovisual piece Dirty Computer. A fierce activist in her public life, Monáe uses science fiction and sonic elements from various styles and genres to explore themes of race, class, and sexuality – which has established her as one of the most forward-thinking creative voices of her generation.
