Abstract

The article examines the possible manifestation of community feminism in the hip-hop scene in the city of Concepción, Chile. The appearance of the women’s freestyle tournament, Suyai Free, offers
suggestive background on this phenomenon. The space emerged to
provide a development opportunity for female rappers in the face of exclusion and gender barriers prevalent in the local rap battle circuit. Suyai Free also distinguishes itself by promoting respect by eradicating
sexist and misogynistic rhymes from verbal duels, horizontality in social relationships, and ensuring the well-being of its participants such as supporting those who are mothers. The organizers of this freestyle
tournament promote a community event among women, but at the same time, it includes other social identities.
