Yoni Ki Baat

Ethnic Cultural Theater
Seattle, WA


Yoni Ki Baat is a collection of authentic, bold, vivid, tender, powerful and poignant stories told by South Asian women.

Translated as "Talks of the Vagina", Yoni Ki Baat* was inspired by Eve Ensler's Vagina Monologues. Seattle's Yoni Ki Baat has now taken a creative life of its own, propelled by the courageous voices of local South Asian women, and creating a unique space of sharing and community through sourcing and presenting true stories. Our narratives shed light on the special challenges experienced in the South Asian socio-cultural context, whether homegrown or related to the diaspora, while also expressing opportunities, dreams and aspirations for change. Every year Yoni Ki Baat is unique featuring local South Asian women, many of whom write their own scripts.

Director: Anjulie Ganti
Assistant Director: Angeli Bhatt

"Yoni ki Baat" is a part of Aaina: South Asian Women's Focus. For a full festival schedule, visit - http://www.tasveer.org/events/series.php?seriesid=13

Chaya is a community based nonprofit organization established in 1996 to serve South Asian women in times of crisis and need, and to raise awareness of domestic violence issues. All proceeds from Yoni ki Baat will go towards Chaya's programs and services.

*Yoni Ki Baat was originally started by South Asian Sisters, a progressive collective of South Asian women, who have been organizing an annual Yoni Ki Baat in San Francisco area, and continue to kindly let us present their scripts.
