Yoni Ki Baat "Talks of the Vagina"
From poetry and historical narrative, to personal testimony, the series of theatrical performances explore South Asian diasporic identities. Adapted from the California production by South Asian Sisters, "Yoni Ki Baat" is the second of its kind at Douglass College. In the midst of one of the largest concentrations of people of South Asian descent in the country, the show strives to provide a safe forum for often marginalized voices of the South Asian community. The artists of diverse backgrounds bring visibility to South Asian experiences of identity along different lines of class, race, gender, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sexuality, and immigration. The result is an eclectic confrontation of issues such as queer identity, labor rights and sexual abuse across the diasporas - from Pakistan and India to Trinidad and the U.S., all critically engaged in the question of what liberation means for people of South Asian descent.
