feature: photographer kelvin yule & são paulo based rapper lay make feminist statement with new photostory

Take a look at the bold new photo story from photographer Kelvin Yule, featuring São Paulo based rapper LAY. Yule (who is from Salvador, Bahia) tells us: “The last time I was in the capital of São Paulo, I met two guys (Eduardo Costa and Gustavo Fogaroli) that have a thrift store called Replay and since then became very good friends. We decided to do some work in partnership, and there were several ideas we had in regards to the black public. The first was with a Brazilian rapper called LAY. She has an amazing feminist discourse and has just released the clip of her first single ‘Guetto Woman’ that is revolutionizing the national rap scene and showing the power of black women.” He adds: “This [the photostory] is a feminist concept, especially with the meat. She [LAY] criticizes the male dominated society that both persecutes women and sees them as pieces of meat – she says in one song, “You chase our tails like hungry animals.”” Explore below.
