Yoni Ki Baat
*PLEASE NOTE THAT TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR AS WELL*
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. Acknowledging female sexuality as an essential aspect of identity and expression, this transformative space encourages South Asian women to speak out on behalf of their bodies in an effort to obliterate violence, stigma, and dogma.
This year's Yoni Ki Baat is directed by Sabina Ansari, a Seattle-based filmmaker and activist, and is co-sponsored by Tasveer and Chaya. All proceeds from sale of tickets will go to Chaya and will be used for supporting South Asian survivors and families impacted by domestic violence and abuse.
*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.
